ANNOUNCING CONVENTION INSTALLMENT PLAN

The cost for the 2025 NJCL Convention at Miami University has not been finalized. 

We are very aware of the continued rising cost of the NJCL Convention.  To help out our delegates,  we have set up an installment plan for individuals to pay for their convention registration in smaller, more frequent installments rather than as one large payment.  This program is available to all delegates - JCL, SCL, and adults.

Individuals may sign up for the installment plan using this registration form.  After completing the form, individuals will receive information about their payment plan.

  • Participants will receive an invoice for $200 by January 1, $200 by March 1, $200 by May 1, and an invoice for the balance by July 1. 

  • You may pay by credit card, Venmo, or send a check.  Purchase Orders are not accepted for this program.

  • If you join the program after January 1, you will receive the March and May invoices for $200, and the July 1 invoice will reflect the total remaining balance.

  • If you subsequently receive an NJCL Scholarship or other means of payment, the installments paid will be refunded. 

 

If you join the program and are unable to attend Convention, you will be able to receive a refund for the total amount paid as long as you cancel in writing to administrator@njcl.org on or before June 27, 2025 which is the Convention cancellation deadline.

DEI Meeting Summary

DEI Committee

DEI Committee Member Update

The current committee sits at 6 members with a board liaison. We are currently looking at the list of volunteers to see how we can better fill our committee and represent our memberships as wholly as possible. If you are interesting in joining the DEI (or any ACL) committee, please click here!

Visibility of DEI Work

There is current work in progress to update the ACL's Committment to Change document. This is an ongoing process. There is concern that the document is long, but the student voice has shared that they appreciate a lengthier document with details and links. 

JCL DEI Update

Our NJCL president updated the committee on her process to form a student DEI committee. The committee was formed with intentionality and had their first meeting this Spring. Plans include potential for fundraising to support students who may not otherwise be able to access Nationals. The committee is also working on forming subcommittees, forming and researching affinity groups for students, and a mission statement.
