to Grow" |

The Green Party of New Jersey's
(GPNJ's) 5th annual Convention was held on Sunday, September 23, from 9:00AM to 5:00 PM at the Labor
Education Center on Ryders Lane in New Brunswick. It was a
particularly exciting convention, as GPNJ focuses on the New Jersey Green Campaign
2001 and sets its course for 2002! This year we focused on organizing within specific constituencies for growth. The basic program was as follows:
Convention CredentialsYou must be a paid up GPNJ member in order to vote at the annual convention. Annual dues are $25 for regular dues, $10 for students and low income. Renewals may be paid at the door. Active Greens may apply to their county coordinator for a waiver of dues. The Rutgers Labor Education Center is located at the corner of Ryders Lane and Clifton Avenue in New Brunswick. Take the NJ Turnpike to exit 9; then Route 18 North (less than a mile) to Route 1 South. Proceed slowly as you get onto Route 1 South, because you want to make an IMMEDIATE right turn into the Sears parking lot. At the very back-left corner of the Sears parking lot there is an outlet road that leads directly toward the Labor Education Center parking lot (make a quick left after exiting the Sears parking lot).
Mail to: Green Party of NJ, P.O. Box 9802, Trenton, NJ 08650.
The annual Convention of the Green Party of New Jersey is the one time each year Greens from all over the state get together. Elections for officers for the upcoming year are held at the convention, as are votes for amendments to the bylaws which establish the procedures for how we do things. That's the serious business! Check out the proposals which were submitted for discussion and votes at the convention! |
