Call goes out for 2010 convention
The "call for delegates
to attend the NALC’s 67th Biennial
Convention in Anaheim, California,
next summer was mailed in late October
to all branches and state associations.
Included in the official call is a delegate
allotment card advising each branch of the
maximum number of delegates it may
send to the convention, to be held August
9-13 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
The delegate count is determined by the
branch’s active and retired membership as
of October 1 this year. A branch is entitled
to one vote and one delegate for each 20
members or fraction thereof. Each state
association has two delegates-at-large.
New housing system set up
In an important change from past conventions, Secretary-Treasurer Broendel
said there will be a new online procedure for making housing reservations.
This means there will no longer be a
host branch housing committee.
Complete details will be announced later,
but Broendel discusses the process in
the secretary-treasurer’s column in the November issue of The Postal Record.
The process of registering local branch
members who have been elected as delegates will not begin until February.
The NALC has made special arrangements with 15 hotels to accommodate
letter carrier delegates attending the
convention. All NALC-block hotels are
within one mile of the convention center; you can download a location map and room rate list here.
The Hilton
Anaheim will be the NALC Headquarters Hotel during the 2010 gathering.
The room rates for NALC-block
hotels have been set so branches can
begin budgeting for the convention.
