First up on the agenda will be proposed changes to the Minnesota Independence Party Constitution.

The second order of business will be to fill an open at-large position on the State Party Executive Committee. The newly elected Executive Committee member will serve until next year's convention when all at-large representatives will be up for election. If you are interested or i you have any questions please contact our State Party Director Kari Johnson-Robinson at karijohnson.robinsonip@gmail.com or 612-290-4296.

At the lunch break you are encouraged to remain on campus and meet IP candidates including our gubenatorial candidates! Please note that the only lunch available on campus will be the box lunches that must be pre-ordered by the IP. Box lunches are $10.00 each (turkey, tuna or egg salad sandwich). You can purchase your box lunch online or send a check with your order to the MNIP at PO BOX 40495, St. Paul, MN 55104. Please remember to include your sandwich selection on your check.

This is a great opportunity to make a small contribution to support the cost of this convention. Unlike the other parties, the IP remains free of special interest money and our convention is funded solely by your contribution. Consider sending an additional $5.00 with your box lunch order or make a contribution separately here.

Following lunch, we will begin consideration of candidates who are competing for the Independence Party endorsement! We will hear from canddiates for Governor first. All authorized delegates and alternates will cast their votes. Following the endorsements, the convention will adjourn.
