Hosting state convention is an opportunity for branches to gain publicity, highlight their home towns, bond as members, and earn up to $1000 for branch funds.
The district directors serve as the site selection committee securing the host branches at least two years in advance and varying the geographic location around the state when possible.
Contact your district director if your branch is interested in hosting state convention. Attendance is usually 120-175 people.
