Hi all, This year's convention was an amazing success. One of the many reasons: the location. We picked a destination city, so people brought their spouses and kids. Many people bough gold packages, even when they weren't delegates, and routinely bought packages for their families as well. I believe that all future conventions should be in destination cities. I know that the common wisdom is that presidential conventions should be in non-destination cities, because people will go to the convention anyway. The argument is: don't waste good cities on presidential years. This argument is flawed. While delegates will go anywhere, they won't bring their families to non-destination cities. Here are some cities we should consider: https://www.tripadvisor.com/TravelersChoice-Destinations-cTop-g191 And we should stick to the top 10. Even if we repeat cities constantly, that's fine. Most people would be fine going to Las Vegas or New Orleans every four years, or even every two years. I await your feedback, and I intend to make a motion on this in advance of the July meeting. -- Arvin Vohra www.VoteVohra.com VoteVohra@gmail.com (301) 320-3634
