Welcome to the main web page for the 2006 Convention of the Green Party of
New Jersey. As this page develops, you will find the announcement, agenda,
directions, bylaw change proposals, and other items of interest to help you
prepare.ANNOUNCEMENT
The Green Party of New Jersey is proud to announce its 10th Annual
Convention, to be held on Saturday, February 4, 2006 from 8:30am to
4:00pm. Be sure to review the rest of this page, the links, and the
Agenda.
Location
The Convention will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of
Monmouth County ("UUCMC") at 1475 West Front Street in
Lincroft, NJ.
Directions here. We hope by bringing the location closer to the center of the
state we can make it easier for more people to attend. This facility has
easy access, ample parking and a kitchen we can use, so we'll be able to
serve hot food.
A "Rain Date" of Saturday, April 8, 2006 has been chosen. The mechanism
for calling this Rain Date will be shown on this page at a later date. The
bottom line is: Be sure to check this page before leaving home that
day! (Particularly if the weather is not nice!)
Proposed
Changes to Bylaws
One of the purposes of the Convention, as always, is to consider changes to
the Bylaws. Please review them
here.
Other Resolutions
Another point of business is the consideration of resolutions that have been
introduced by members or member chapters. Please review those
here.
There is also a proposal for the regionalization of the GPNJ which will be
discussed. You can review that document
here.
Don't Forget
You must be paid up in your dues to vote, and you must have been a
dues-paying member at least 30 days in advance of the Convention. If you
have been a dues-paying member in the past, you will be able to become
current at the Convention if there is evidence of this in the membership
database.
Food
Breakfast will be provided. Please bring food for lunch!
Shared food should be vegetarian. We can heat food at the site, but please
bring your own kitchenware for this. Please bring a mug so we do not have to
waste potentially non-recyclable materials on drinking cups. We could use a
couple of volunteers on the food end - identify yourself as such at check-in
time.
