The main objective of your convention shall be the election of the delegates and alternate delegates to the state convention. These delegates will set the course for the party not only by their votes at the convention, but also in their selection of State Central Committee Members, the governing body of the Nebraska Republican Party when the state convention is out of session. Alternate delegates are important, because they take the place of absent delegates.
Depending on your constitution, your convention may also be the venue to elect county officers. The officers consist of the Chairman and Vice Chairman, one of whom shall be a woman and the other a man, a Secretary, and Treasurer. Additionally, you may also wish to discuss a county party platform, resolutions, or concerns you wish to take to the NEGOP State Convention. Use your county convention not only to promote the Republican Party and our candidates, but also our American system of government.
This convention process, in gubernatorial years such as this one, culminates in the state convention whose business it is to finalize State Central Committee elections, debate constitutional amendments and resolutions, and finally to provide training to voters and candidates. Outside the formal schedule of the convention, social events, fundraisers, and gatherings surround Saturday's business agenda, providing attendees the opportunity to share ideas and network in preparation for November.
