2000 National Planning Meeting

Each December, all the section chiefs are invited to attend a National Planning Meeting, held near Dallas, Texas. During this event, they elect the national officers for the coming year, and plan for the upcoming program of emphasis. The National Order of the Arrow Committee also meets during this time. Section and Area Advisers also attended the planning meeting, to learn about new OA programs and discuss issues.

From December 28 to 31, 2000, the chiefs met, elected the 2001 national officers, and began detailed planning for the OA programs at the 2001 National Scout Jamboree. They also reviewed the 2000 National OA Conference, and brainstormed ideas and concepts for future NOACs. Read more about the results of the 2000 National Planning Meeting below.
