Endorsement Voting Meeting

 

All meetings will be held at New Trier’s Northfield campus, 7 Happ Road, Northfield, IL in Room C234 from 7-9pm.  School security has asked that people attending the meeting enter through the B door on the Frontage Road side of the Northfield campus (please note that this is a change from past years). Once on campus, you'll need to use the C7 door to enter Building C. If you are a member of the public (and not a delegate), please see our FAQ regarding meetings that are open or closed to the public.
