Day 6

This is it, our last day! There is always a sort of "buzz" in the air on the last day because on this day the Delegates decide where the location of the next Convention. Since Conventions are held every four (4) years, the next is scheduled for the Summer of 2012. It had been noted earlier in the week by President Hegarty that the 2012 Convention would be the 100th anniversary of the NPMHU. With that in mind, it is sure to be an even more festive occasion then normal. The sites receiving the most serious consideration were the Island of Hawaii, Detroit, MI, Portland, OR, Las Vegas, NV, and the Island of Puerto Rico. Before a decision could be made, we had to narrow the site down to two (2). Delegates were encouraged to speak out in favor of the location they preferred. After listening to discussions, we voted and narrowed it down to Puerto Rico and Portland, Or, with Portland, OR being the final destination.

Next was the Report of the Resolutions Committee and the voting on the recommended resolutions the Committee presented. The Committee presented three (3) Resolutions, all which were approved by the Delegates. We then had the closing formalities and adjourned.
