Identify and elect the 6 delegates to the state convention in June. (TDP rules make the County Chair an automatic delegate)
-
Send any resolutions coming before the convention to the state 2.

We have received guidance from the TDP on how to conduct the convention under these circumstances. Time and location remain the same!
