Seattle DSA’s annual chapter convention helps guide the overall direction of the entire chapter. It’s our largest meeting of the year where members submit changes to our bylaws, propose resolutions for priority campaigns, and elect members to the Local Council to help facilitate that over-arching direction.
DSA Members can register here and attend on Saturday, March 22nd at 11 AM.
Convention Compendium coming soon.
