The Illinois Green Party will be hosting a Green Party Presidential Candidates forum as part of its 2020 Spring Convention in Chicago on Saturday, February 29, 2020.  The forum will feature Green Party US Recognized Candidates Howie Hawkins, Dario Hunter, and David Rolde.  More information about the candidates can be found here.

The Presidential Forum will be at 6:00 pm and will be preceded by a social hour from 5:00 to 6:00.  Following the Forum, the ILGP will be hosting our biannual Fundraiser Dinner and silent auction.

The following Bylaws Revisions are being proposed to the ILGP membership at our upcoming convention on Saturday, February 29, 2020 in Chicago, IL.  In addition to some housekeeping or formatting edits, the intended purpose of these bylaws revisions is to change the structure of the ILGP administrative bodies to empower the Coordinating Committee as the primary decision making body of the ILGP between membership meeting.  These changes also impact the make up and duties of the Executive Committee. 

A summary and pdf of proposed Bylaws changes can be found below.

The ILGP 2020 Spring Convention and membership meeting will take place on Saturday, February 29, 2020 at the Third Unitarian Church, 301 N. Mayfield, Chicago, Illinois.

We should have a pretty full agenda, as we discuss petition planning and strategizing for campaign 2020, election of officers, amendments to our by-laws, possible selection of a U.S. Senate candidate, selection process for our presidential ticket – and more. We expect to cap things off late afternoon/early evening with a forum for recognized Green Party presidential candidates, and an evening social and dinner. Please mark your calendars now, and plan on joining us that day.

The finalized agenda will be released as soon as possible.
