They envisioned a service-leadership organization and development of better communications among the many facets of the square dance activity. Trustees meet every two years in varying locations to exchange ideas and formulate proposals and guidelines for the welfare of the overall square dance activity. Trustees are individuals who have been dancing for at least five years or served at least three years as an accomplished leader. To become a trustee, the individual must be nominated by an existing trustee and attend a biennial convention. This convention is held in May in odd years, beginning on the Thursday following Mother's Day and continuing for three days.
All trustees pay their own expenses.
The questionnaire surveys were designed to ask dancers to express their feelings about certain aspects of square dancing and related activities. The results, which are tabulated, are put on computer and distributed to all publications and organizations. Dancers may choose the particular dates best suited for local programs and climate. Mini-Legacies bring local leaders together for learning and sharing, the end result of which is the enhancement of area square dancing. Back to the top Back to the Legacy Home Page.
