From WSB3ATTYCA at aol.com Tue Apr 5 18:44:16 2011 From: WSB3ATTYCA at aol.com (WSB3ATTYCA at aol.com) Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2011 21:44:16 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Sosfbay-news] Call For Volunteers for a GPUS Presidential Nominating Convention in San Jose Message-ID: <2e548.628c762f.3acd1f70@aol.com> Folks: At the January GPSCC general meeting, we again briefly discussed the idea that the GPSCC might consider hosting the 2012 GPUS Presidential Nominating Convention. At that time it was suggested we should see if there were 25 individuals who would volunteer for what would be an extended planning process and an intense local hosting event in June or July 2012. The biggest issue for doing this is a site needs to be identified ASAP and reservations made about a year in advance. There also is a formal process for the proposal to be accepted by the national Green Party, which will have responsibility for all contracts and expenses. The GPUS also will have responsibility for the handling on-line registration and credentialing delegates. The GPUS also will have responsibility for preparing all meeting schedules. This would be an opportunity to learn or hone various skills in event planning and operations, community outreach, media relations and other components of such an event. It would need commitments for event participation in such areas as preparing local information (transportation, meals, local areas of interest); providing persons to assist with registration, directions and transportation assistance, go-for assistance as-needed, and locating local home hosts for people for whom dorm or hotel costs would be a financial hardship. If you are willing to volunteer for any of these (or other tasks) to prepare a proposal and help out with the event, please contact Warner Bloomberg (408) 295-9353 _wb3d23 at aol.com_ (mailto:wb3d23 at aol.com) Thanx!!!
