About this Event
Before the ballot is ever cast, the future of our movement is decided in the nomination process.
Too often, grassroots Conservatives have been sidelined — replaced by appointed candidates, unfair rules, a process that lacks transparency and disregards the voice of the members.
Whether this continues or changes is in the hands of the members.
Join the Conservative Leadership Foundation for a one-day, high-impact event where campaign veterans, candidates, and activists come together to discuss potential amendments to improve the nomination process. Potential amendments will be organic and come from the attendees. The day will begin with an open mic session, allowing attendees to share their experiences, and the afternoon will feature a roundtable discussion to work on the amendments.
