CAG A-G you will be CSV and CAG H-L you will be SOV This can change each year with the change of your revenue units.

Helpful Hints If you are in Business Services and Delivery Admin(in SOV) and LDC 48 (in CSV) pages- the bolded lines can be adjusted. You need to contact your district OPS office to see what the procedure is to update for your district so you get full credit for what your office earns.

Helpful Hints Before attending your convention print out a copy of an SOV and CSV office(all pages). Keep a printed copy of your SOV/CSV pages every six months to check on updates.
