Updated Convention Information 5/12/2025

We kindly request two items from each of you: 
1- Please provide a list of your attending members, along with your designated delegates, in accordance with the state and national constitutions. 
2 - If applicable, submit your nominations for the positions of President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer.  This allows us to plan for printing of ballots etc.  
Historically, the roles of President/Vice President and Secretary/Treasurer have been shared between representatives from each side of the state, based on a longstanding gentleman’s agreement. Should there be interest in formalizing this practice, it could be incorporated into the state constitution during this upcoming convention for future application.  


Those Currently Registered

As of May 12, If you do not see your name on this list, reach out to your Division President.
