2026 Pre-Convention Committee Meetings

Initiall/start-up meetings for all of our pre-convention committees this Sunday, February 15 at 3:30pm.

If you signed up to be on a committee, you’ll have an email with the location and additional details, search your email for SD51. Unlike Precinct Caucuses and conventions, this is only for the people who signed up.
This is where you’ll meet your committee and learn about the work. If you agreed to show up, but didn’t commit to a specific committee, here’s a quick description of them:
