  • Want to Host the Roundup?

Remember:
​You have the full support of SLAA members from all across the state

​You are not alone!

How the hosting site is chosen at the Roundup
​The next Roundup location is chosen from the location(s) that wish to host during the closing "Passing Of The Lasso" ceremony. If more than one location wants to host, the choice is made by group conscience (simple majority vote) of the members present at the closing ceremony. Location representatives are responsible for sharing why they want to host the Roundup and are given the opportunity to advocate for their location and answer questions from the fellowship prior to the vote.
​​
Here are the Texas Roundup Committees that you will  need to create when hosting a Roundup.
​

​Location Committee: This committee scouts out venues for the next Roundup.  The goal is to offer up to 3 location choices to the TRU committee to be voted on at least 6 months prior to the upcoming Roundup.
​

Registration Committee: This committee tracks the registration process and funds. They report the number of new registrants at each committee meeting.  This committee also helps fill the Roundup schedule with volunteers to work the registration table.
​

Picture
Program Committee: This committee puts together the schedule for the Texas Roundup.  They vote on workshop ideas and topics,  recruit and find volunteers to lead workshops, and work with the communication committee to get program design accomplished and printed.  The program committee also puts together workshop binders with scripts, suggested guidelines, and announcements for the breakout sessions and main conference areas.  At end of the Roundup, this committee compiles the surveys and provides the data results to the RTU committee during their final meeting.
