Seek and secure host schools for state festivals.

Collect materials from the nominated productions within the state, which one represents for the deliberation process.
Present all nominated productions within one’s own state (with support of a vice-chair or designated committee member if necessary) to the regional committee at the deliberation weekend.

At state festivals make contact with every director after their production to offer support for entering their show.
While attending performances, you must stay for the entirety of every production.
