LWV Texas Convention Coming to Dallas!
We invite League members to the biennial state convention, which will be hosted in Dallas from Friday, April 19 through Sunday, April 21. The convention will take place at the Embassy Suites Dallas Park Central near the intersection of U.S. 75 and I-635. Click here to view more information and get your tickets. The early bird discount rate ends on March 22, so don't wait!
A limited number of subsidized tickets are available for members who would be financially burdened by the ticket price. If you would like a subsidized ticket, email President@LWVDallas.org.
State conventions are held on even-numbered years, typically rotating between the major Texas cities. Every local League chooses delegates to attend the meeting and vote on the state's program, officers and directors, nominating committee, budget, and any other business that needs to be voted on by representatives of the local Leagues. Any League member can attend, but only delegates can vote on League business.
This year, the state convention will consist of:
- Workshops related to the League's Voter Services, Advocacy, and management
- A plenary session where League business will be voted on
- A silent auction
- Two lunches - One optional for an additional fee
- Reader's Theatre Presentation: Press on My Sisters! The ERA, Then and Now
- The Women Power the Voter Dinner fundraiser - Optional with additional fee
Workshop information and the Convention Workbook will be uploaded to this LWVTX webpage in the coming days.
There will also be three Convention Preparation Webinars!
