running of Provincial Conference. The members of Conference Committee (besides the Co-Chairs) include a Secretary, two or three "3-Tions" officers (responsible for registration and accommodation of students), two Skillbuilding co-chairs (responsible for organizing the skillbuilders), three Public Relations officers, two W.E.N.D.Y. officers (responsible for organizing cheers and the talent show), two Welcoming co-chairs (responsible for making the welcoming email, planning the welcoming activity and planning the opening night activity), two Heads of Logistics, two Head Chaperones, one Head of First Aid and one Head of Mental Health First Aid. The non-voting positions on Conference Committee are the Committee Advisor. The Conference Committee reports to the Provincial Cabinet. Regional Cabinet There are six regions within the NSSSA, corresponding roughly to the county divisions in Nova Scotia. Each of these regions holds its own conference every year for its member schools. These conferences are on a smaller scale than the Provincial Conference, so the duties of both province-wide committees are combined for the regions into one single committee, known as the Regional Cabinet (or RC). Each region has its own Regional Cabinet, and positions are modeled on a cross-section of the most important positions of Provincial Cabinet and Conference Committee. The Regional Cabinet is run by two Co-Premiers. The chief duty of every Regional Cabinet is to hold a small-scale Regional Conference modeled after Provincial Conference. Regional Conferences are also occasionally used as testing grounds for new ideas for Provincial Conference, as the Regional Conferences are always held before Provincial Conference every year. All positions on every committee are held for one-year terms. This results in a high turnover rate, which has in the past led to inconsistencies in policy decisions. However, Lorne "Abe" Abramson, Provincial Advisor for currently 11 years has been able to keep the NSSSA relatively consistent overall, and few major changes have occurred in recent years to the organizational structure, apart from some renaming of positions. Most positions on all committees are filled via appointment. However, there are elections for some positions at an Annual General Meeting, held during the Provincial Conference. The elected positions include the President, Vice-President, and all Co-Premiers. One of the first decisions made upon election of the President and Vice-President (although after the Provincial Conference) is the choosing of the Conference Co-Chairs for the following year. The President and Vice-President then appoint the Provincial Cabinet from among applicants, while the Co-Chairs appoint the
