Our SD64 DFL Convention will be held on Sunday, 25 March 2012, 12:30pm, at Central High School. If you have been elected a Delegate or Alternate to the convention at your precinct caucus, please join us for the afternoon. We will post more details here as we pull them together.
Pre-Convention Committees
Our pre-convention committees will all meet for the first time on Saturday, 11 February 2012, 9:30am, at Macalester College, Old Main (in the heart of the campus), downstairs in rooms 001, 002, 003, 009, 010, and 011.
One important thing to note is that on February 21, 2012, we will have new Senate District lines. Until then, anything the committees do is “advisory.” As a practical matter, what that means is that the committees can’t make their final votes until after we know the lines of the district. That shouldn’t stop your committee from doing some work, however.
If your precinct caucus elected you a member or alternate on any of our committees, please come to this initial meeting.
These committees do the behind the scenes work before and at the convention.
- Rules. This committee decides the rules that govern the SD64 convention.
- Credentials. This committee enters the data from the caucuses, prepares the list of eligible delegates, and hands out voting credentials at the conventions.
- Resolutions. This committee compiles all the resolutions adopted at the precinct caucuses and administers the voting at the SD64 convention.
- Arrangements. This committee organizes the logistics and helps run things the day of the convention.
- Nominations. This committee screens candidates who are running for SD64 DFL office and proposes a slate of candidates for the convention.
- Constitution. This committee will review and propose revisions to the rules by which SD64 DFL operates for the next ten years.

All are welcome to join us for the data entry party on Sunday 12 February 2012, 1-5pm, at the SEIU Healthcare offices. We will be spending Sunday afternoon entering data from caucus participants.
