[acb-hsp] affiliate growth

And a good suggestion it is, too, Kevin; that way, HSP should always have a presence on the floor.

It  used to be by the first or second business meeting, if you didn't have representation, you were not even called at roll call of affiliates.

IMO, a lot of this is stuff that needs to get sorted out before the convention, if at all possible. Since a vast majority of convention business is done on Friday, I think it’s extremely important that the affiliate has a presence then. I have to say it does bug me when affiliates go to the microphone on Sunday night without knowing who the delegate and/or the alternate and/or the nominating committee rep will be. To me, it makes affiliates look really disorganized. I think there needs to be a conference call right before convention on which it can be determined which affiliate members will be attending, and for how long. That way assignments could be made ahead of time. Just a thought.
