Pre-Convention Hearings

Hearings (COMING SOON) are an opportunity to learn and ask questions about the budget and resolutions that will be brought to the convention floor. (The proposed budget & resolutions will be available on the Delegate Materials page prior to the hearings.) These hearings not only provide valuable time for discussion, but they also help us keep on-floor discussion time during convention to a manageable amount, as many questions can be answered ahead of time during these hearings. All delegates are expected to attend, and everyone is welcome.

Delegates and visitors: you’ll be asked about your attendance and will receive the Zoom link as part of your Convention registration.

Attend a hearing but not Convention: If you are not registering for Convention but would like to attend a hearing, a form will be provided (coming soon) to register for the Zoom meeting.

Pre-Convention Day: Friday October 23

Time: 6:30pm Welcome & Workshops: until approximately 8:45pm
