A department is granted one additional delegate for each 1,000 members (or major fraction thereof) 30 days before the convention.
How to Attend
Delegates and Alternates for the Department of Iowa are selected at the Spring District Conferences and ratified at the annual Department Convention. Those not elected as a Delegate or Alternate may attend the National Convention as a Guest. If the Districts do not fill their delegations, Alterntes and Guests from other districts will be moved to Delegate positions.
