Plan to attend these important events to prepare for convention:

Virtual Convention Training

• Wednesday, Nov. 3
• 7 p.m. (Registration begins at 6 p.m.)

All delegates are invited to attend a virtual training for our virtual convention! Learn how to cast your votes and other get important details in this session. All first-time convention attendees should attend this training. If you attended last year or are unavailable on November 3, we will have a training video you can watch.

Budget and Resolutions Hearing

• Saturday, Nov. 6
• 10 a.m.

In an effort to streamline the process on the day of our convention business meeting, we will hold public hearings on the 2021 budget and the proposed resolutions. You are encouraged to read all materials ahead of time (they'll be posted on the website when available) and then attend this public hearing to learn more details and ask any questions you have. Our goal is to work out any concerns and help you decide how you want to vote on the items before convention begins. (Zoom link will be provided closer to the event date.)
