Delegates to the Dept. Convention are based on the number of members who are Members in good standing on May 1. You get one Delegate and one alternates for every 25 members or major fraction thereof. Alternates shall have the rights and privileges of their delegates except they shall only vote in their delegates absence. We always start nominations and voting at Post #1 which sometimes doesn't allow the higher numbered Posts to vote because the majority is reached before it gets to them. So to make everybody happy we are gong to start at the current Commanders Post which this year is Post 1013. Unless the Floor is against this or its a violation of the Bylaws this is how it will done it in the future.
The Dates of the Convention are June 8-10. Reports for the Red Book and Grants are due three weeks prior to the Convention (May 18). Please book your room as soon as possible. The Website has Hotel Reservation & Tax Exemt Forms, and a Convention Shirt order form for your use. The 2023 Convention Agenda can also be found on the Website (under the Event Calendar section).
