Delegates may choose to serve as moderators of debate and audition for the role of a Chair. Auditions typically take place throughout Leadership Day as practice bills are debated, with interested delegates rotated into the Chair position. The Chair is a neutral individual and will:
​
-
Maintain decorum in the room
-
Assess the order of the day
-
Guide discussion
​
There are two types of chairs: committee chair and overall chairs. ​Two Committee Chairs will be assigned to each committee decided by the parties on Party Day. The Overall Chairs will moderate general debate in the House and Senate, addressing a much larger audience while serving as the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate.
