approved by the BOD June 2015 and became effective then.

MEMBERSHIP RECRUITMENT: 25 points for each new member recruited. To qualify as a new member, you must participate in at least two TLBT events in your first year. (This is not a requirement for membership, only a requirement if the recruiting TLBT member is to earn points for that membership). A limit of 5 membership recruitments is allowed per year.

YOUTH SEMINAR: 50 points per each seminar given by the TLBT member with a maximum of five seminars allowed per year. An outline of the seminar topic given by the TLBT member, a list of participants/audience, along with parent or teacher verification must be provided on the proper form (on the TLBAA website) to the TLBAA office to receive the points. The completed worksheet must be turned in by the youth member within 30 days of the seminar to receive points.

A copy of the speech given by the TLBT member, a list of participant/audience, along with parent or teacher verification must be provided on the proper form (on the TLBAA website) to the TLBAA office to receive the points. The completed worksheet must be turned in by the youth member within 30 days of the speech to receive points.

For both the Seminars and Speeches, the emphasis should be on education and providing information on the Texas Longhorn and the association. If possible, photos taken during the presentation should be provided.

For both the Seminars and Speeches, a maximum of TWO may be submitted by each TLBT member each month during the show season.
