/*HOW TO APPLY FOR A Green National Committee (GNC)
DELEGATE OR ALTERNATE SEAT:*

Dear Greens,

The Green Party of California is always looking for interested California
Greens to serve at the national level of the Green Party (GPUS). The only
strict requirement is that you be a registered Green in California.

We prefer those who have served in some capacity at the stateand/or county
party level and will ask for a referral from a state or county 
representative,
if we're not familiar with your Green Party activity. We strongly encourage
those who self-identify as a minority, whether by region, gender, 
ethnicity,
race, sexual orientation, or disability.

GPUS is in the process of computing another apportionment and the size 
of the
National Committee is being decreased from 200 to 150, so we anticipate 
that
our delegation size will reduce to about 25. We are able to have as many
as Alternate seats...though 15-20 is more realistic.///
/
There will be elections by the General Assembly at the GPCA Plenary in
December 3-4 currently planned for about six of those delegate seats, by 
IRV,
with about twice as many alternate seats open. //We expect that//some of 
the
three delegates and four alternates whose terms are up will reapply.
//According to our by-laws, we need your bios/applications two months 
//before
the plenary so please send it as soon as possible or by October 3. /
/
/
/Please mail your candidate statement to //applications at cagreens.org/
<mailto:applications at cagreens.org>/

Your statement should include biographical information about positions,
experience, skills, and/or service that you have had (both within and 
outside
of the Green Party), along with your vision or commitment for the position.
  (Please see statements submitted by previous candidates for examples, 
here:

/NEW APPLICATIONS FOR DELEGATE WILL BE POSTED WITH A
LINK FROM THAT PAGE AS WELL.
