RE:                   MARYLAND REPUBLICAN PARTY FALL CONVENTION

Dear Central Committee MemberWelcome to all of our new and returning Central Committee Members.

Pursuant to Article VIII, section 1.d. of the Maryland Republican Party’s Constitution and Bylaws, I hereby call the Republican State Central Committee’s 2014 Fall Quadrennial Convention to be held at the Turf Valley Hotel and Conference Center on December 5^th and 6^th.

Per our Bylaws Requirement, attached is a copy of the current MDGOP Constitution and Bylaws and the Proposed Tentative 2015 Budget (This budget may be changed prior to the Convention. If that occurs, you will be sent an updated budget.)

Tentative Weekend Agenda: Registration and Check-in for the Fall Convention will be open from 5:00pm – 7:30pm on Friday, December 5^th and will reopen on Saturday, December 6^th at 7:00 am. Hospitality suites will be held on Friday, December 5^th from 8:00pm – 11:00pm. Howard County is planning a welcome reception.

The schedule is a little different this time. Breakfast will be held at 7:30am on Saturday, with a special guest speaker to be announced. At 9:00am, the General Session of the Convention will convene. You must be in the registration line by 8:45 a.m. We will break at 11AM for workshops. All credentialed individuals will receive a box lunch to be eaten during the workshops. Workshops include a training for all Central Committee members – new & returning, navigating the Legislative process & effective testifying, and getting ready for the Municipal Elections. You must be signed in by 9a.m. in order to vote in the afternoon session. The General Session will convene again at 2pm and we will have the elections. The convention will conclude with our Victory Celebration Dinner on Saturday evening with special guest WMAL’s Larry O’Connor and some special surprise guests. The evening’s events begin at 6:00pm, with Dinner at 7pm.

Sponsorships, hospitality suites, vender booths, and advertising opportunities are all available as well.

Everyone has worked really hard and smart this year. Our candidates have been spectacular! I look forward to seeing you all on December 5^th and 6^th. We have a lot to celebrate!!
