As we wrap up the first week of December, here are key reminders to keep your chapter on track before the holiday break:

Contest Selection
Have you started working with your students to select their contests? Early planning leads to stronger performance.

Projection Equipment Policy
Per the MN BPA Board of Directors, projection equipment will not be provided or permitted for contests. Students must present using one laptop they bring with them.

Membership Rosters
Double-check your rosters to ensure all competitors are accounted for and properly registered.

Conference Registration Access
Make sure you can log into the MN BPA Conference registration system. Your credentials remain the same for State registration.

Practice Test Engine
Remind students to access the practice test engine via their membership accounts. This valuable resource is provided to all MN BPA members.

State Officer Candidate Handbook
You should have received the handbook earlier this week—please share it with any prospective candidates.

Important Deadlines
Be mindful of deadlines for both Regional and State events.
Pre-submits and State Registration (housing and attendees) are due by Thursday, February 5, 2026.
