Silicon Valley DSA Convention Delegate Self-Nomination Form
Hey there!  Thanks for considering becoming a delegate to represent Silicon Valley DSA at the national all-DSA convention in Atlanta, GA. The conference gives chapters a chance to steer the way that DSA as an organization will conduct advocacy and grow into a bigger organization, and it includes the elections for the National Political Committee.

It's a big deal, and a fantastic chance to meet and connect with socialists from all over the United States. Convention 2019 will run from August 2nd-August 4th. We have 13 spots and you can fill one of them! Nominations close June 15 at 8:00pm, and we'll hold elections online afterwards via OpaVote.

To nominate yourself, fill out this form! There is a basic information section and a candidate statement/questionnaire section. The form should take 10-15 minutes. If you have updates or questions, please email info@siliconvalleydsa.org or post in the #ask-the-officers channel on slack!

The full rules for our election process are outlined in 'ARTICLE VII. Election Methods' of our bylaws, which can be found at https://siliconvalleydsa.org/bylaws/
