This year, DAR has been making history in so many ways and State Box Seating is no exception!
Now that we have all slimmed down during the pandemic, we increased the capacity of the box from five attendees to 15! With that increase came as many different interpretations of inclusion as there are states. State Regents included Honories, current and past board members, historical figures, combinations of all of these categories and more in their invitations for this special seating option. Additionally, all of these considerations presented our protocol pages with new challenges to address. So we followed one rule in staging our photos - the State Regent will always be in the best seat in the box.
We hope that you enjoy seeing your honored guests as they convened for the opening session. As always, the best efforts of those involved in getting everyone seated in the state boxes were put forth. We sincerely apologize if your seat was not as you anticipated.
