Life on a Star
Conferences have been held yearly since 1963.
Each year, two
chair-persons are selected to design and bring to the conference a
theme speaker, minister and workshop leaders of their choice, who will
provide interesting and thought-provoking programs for all conferees.
The Chairs recruit all the adult leaders for our youth program.
The Chairs are responsible for all aspects of the program for their
week.
The LOAS
conferences are governed by a group consisting of all current and former
Chairs of both LOAS conferences. The former chairs
meet on-island during the conference and again in November to conduct
ongoing business, make plans for the future and elect conference Chairs,
Registrar and Treasurer. They also elect a Coordinating Committee
consisting of three people who, together with the Registrar and
Treasurer, handle issues which arise between Chair meetings.
