2013 Green Party of Colorado Annual Meeting

The Working Committee on the Annual State Meeting (consisting of Adam Cline, Bill Bartlett, Chris Allen, Kevin Alumbaugh, Michael Haughey, and Tanya Ishikawa) is proposing the 2013 Green Party of Colorado Annual Meeting be held in Highlands Ranch, Colorado (most likely at a library with wifi with no rental charge). The proposed date is Saturday, Aug. 24. The time has not been set but may be from about 9 am to 3 pm. This meeting is for state party business and approval of local chapters, but is not a nominating convention as it is between general election years. Candidates for local, nonpartisan offices (city councils, town boards, etc.) can attend to get support but it is not mandatory.The original annual meeting location of San Miguel County was dropped due to no hosts being available to organize. Former state co-chair Art Goodtimes of San Miguel County agreed that a meeting in that area would be impossible to hold this year. The state bylaws require meeting locations to be selected either at the previous annual meeting or by a council vote. Therefore, the working committee accepted the Douglas County Greens' generous offer to host, and is proposing this vote to council.The agenda for the state meeting will be sent in a separate council vote before the meeting takes place.We will have agreement seeking for one week, July 3 to July 9. After which, the proposal will have passed if no one blocks during the agreement seeking. If there is a block, we will go to a vote for one week (July 10-16). The proper votes for agreement seeking include: Agree, Stand aside, or Disagree (Block).Each local chapter should have four council reps eligible to vote.Thank you, Tanya IshikawaAdams-Jefferson Green Party
