National News:


National Convention will be held in Texas:  July, 2020.  Cancelled due to COVID 19.   Please see message from our National Regent.


Worthy State Regents,
It is with a heavy heart that I announce that the 202o National Convention has been cancelled.  Please send the following letter to each court in your state either by email or by US mail.   Everyone needs to be aware of the info surrounding the closing of the convention.  If you have a nomination for the nominating committee, please send it to me.  If you are approached for an endorsement to "run from the floor," please deliberate and answer quickly.  Do not keep the potential candidate waiting as she will have a quick turnaround time to get her packet into me.  I am sorry for the inconvenience that this causes. Most airlines have a covid policy for cancelled events and refunds or rescheduling of flights.  Again, I am very sorry that this had to happen.  God bless you all! 

Olga Samaniego
National Regent
