Background

NOTE: Quorum is 32 state/caucuses at this time.

Beginning at the Annual National Meeting in Salt Lake City members of the ANM committee began informally soliciting sites for the 2020 GPUS Presidential Nominating Convention. Members of the committee also reached out with personal phone calls to at least 8 cities. The committee formally solicited Letters of Interest (LOIs) beginning in March 2019. Six cities/states submitted LOIs. They were Minnesota, New Jersey, Ohio, California, South Carolina, and Michigan. After reviewing the Request for Proposals (RFP) and participating in question/answer conference calls with committee member(s) six proposals were submitted.

Because many delegates appreciate the intimacy, lower cost and easier networking opportunities of a meeting at a University, we encouraged the planners to seek an all-inclusive venue (food, lodging, meeting space). All proposals assume the same number of breakout rooms for workshops, space for delegate meeting, media, registration, and nominating convention. Many costs can be negotiated and the costs you see on both proposals are the maximums for meeting spaces and most other budget items. The groups were asked to provide budget and substantive information on the respective locations.

Cost is only one factor to consider and it is usually negotiable. Some other important additional considerations in ranking the PNC proposals are (in no particular order):

----- Geographical location - Have we been to your city or area of the country recently? We definitely try to be in a different region for the PNC every 4 years. (2008 was Chicago, 2012 was Baltimore and 2016 was Houston.. ANMs were 2009-Durham, 2010-Detroit (in collaboration with the US Social Forum), 2011-Alfred, NY, 2013-Iowa City, 2014-Minneapolis, 2015–St. Louis, 2017-Newark, 2018-Salt Lake City and 2019–Salem, MA.
----- Demographics/Diversity - Are there opportunities for outreach to underrepresented groups including young people, working class, people of color, marginalized populations?
----- Activities – Are there opportunities to petition, protest or participate in petition drives, living wage campaigns, etc.?
------Date(s)
----- Accessibility – Are the venue and lodging near a major airport hub. Is there good public transportation between venues and lodging?
----- Major media market
----- Size of volunteer base
