2012 Gwinnett County Repulican Convention

The Gwinnett County Republican Party will hold its 2012 Convention on Saturday, March 10th, 2012 at Central Gwinnett High School, 564 West Crogan Street in Lawrenceville for the purpose of electing delegates and alternates to the 4th, 7th and 10th District Conventions and the Georgia GOP State Convention. Below is some helpful information on the convention.


How do I become a delegate to the Convention?

Delegates and alternates were elected by precinct at February’s Mass Meetings. If you were elected as a delegate or alternate, you should have received a letter from Chairman Bruce LeVell.

If I’m not a delegate or alternate, can I still attend the convention?

The convention is open to the public. Guests must pay a $20 registration fee to attend.

Where exactly is the convention?

The convention is in the Central Gwinnett High School Auditorium. You should enter the school’s parking lot from the Crogan Street entrance just south of the school buildings. (Look for the GOP Event signs). Once you have parked, the auditorium is the building on your left as you face the school.

What time should I get there, and what should I bring?
We will begin registration at 8:30 AM. Anyone in line to register by 10:00 AM will be allowed to participate in the convention, however we strongly advise attendees to arrive and register early so we can begin the convention on time.
 You should bring your registration letter, some form of proper ID, and the $30 registration fee.

Can I pay the registration fee online?
Glad you asked. You can save time at registration by prepaying the registration fee at this link. You will be able to pre-pay until 8 PM on Friday.

Where should I sit?
Seating at the convention will be by Congressional District. From the back of the auditorium, seating for the 4th district will be on the right, the 7th district will sit in the center, and the 10th district will sit on the left. In addition, delegates will sit in front, while alternates will be seated behind delegates. Guests will sit is a marked off area on the left. Please look for signs telling you where to sit. They will be taped to the end seats on each row.

Will there be any special guests at the convention?

Yes, we expect 7th District Congressman Rob Woodall will address the convention at 10 AM, and Senator Johnny Isakson will speak at approximately 11:00. As time allows, we may have other candidates and elected officials speak.

I’m hungry. Will there be any refreshments?

The Conservative Republican Women of North Atlanta will be selling refreshments; however,   food and drink cannot be brought into the auditorium. We ask that you enjoy your refreshments outside, in the courtyard to the right of the auditorium building.
