Please also list any other dietary restrictions and allergies not already listed in the check boxes.

Participation Opportunities

Convention participation opportunities are an opportunity to showcase the best of the ACC and GTM. Worship at ACC/GTM conventions is integral; spiritual uplift, renewal, community building, and encountering the Divine are goals of Convention worship. Convention worship is envisioned and crafted according to the overall Convention theme. The honor of leading worship precludes singing a concert solo at the same convention. Those who register during early bird are given first priority. Primary t’filah leaders are ineligible to lead t’filah or sing a concert solo at Convention for the following three years.

The T'filah and Programming committees will do their best to include as many participants as possible. 

Because of the special nature of the Wednesday evening Kolot Dorot: Voices of the Generations concert, participation is managed outside of the convention registration process.
