Hello Joshua,

I do not recall hearing about the comment you refer to in your message. 
Perhaps it was just something someone said within earshot of where you were 
sitting. Unfortunately, people sometimes say things others find 
disrespectful. I think this is simply a part of life.

As far as the seating arrangements are concerned, the state affiliates are 
always seated alphabetically during general sessions. The only exceptions I 
know about is the year they decided to do it backwards, and I think 
sometimes they place Maryland in the center of the room or the front of the 
middle isle regardless of how this places them in the alphabetical order.

Alphabetically speaking, it would make sense that Florida would be somewhere 
behind Arkansas. If Florida is not somewhere directly behind you in your 
isle, it could be they are just behind you in the next section over. 
Although I cannot say for sure since I am not too familiar with this section 
of the room. If you find out it is the same this year, perhaps you could 
investigate why this may be the case.

I hope this helps answer some of your questions.

Take care,
Elizabeth
