The 40th Republican National Convention in Tampa, August 27-30, 2012 will bring together 2,286 dele-gates and 2,125 alternate delegates from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories. The convention is planned and managed by the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) Committee on Arrangements (COA) for the 2012 Republican National Convention. The COA is a separate entity from the RNC with its own payroll and staff. The COA is chaired by Georgia Republican National Committeeman Alec Poitevint. Wyoming National Committeewoman Jan Larimer and Wisconsin National Committeewoman Mary Buestrin serve as co-chairs. William D. Harris serves as convention chief executive officer, the same position he held in 2004; he was the convention director for the McCain-Palin campaign in 2008. This is his 11th convention. Michael V. Miller, a convention veteran, now on his 13th convention, serves as convention chief operating officer. By the time of the opening gavel, the convention expects to utilize the services of 150 full-time staff and upwards of 7,500 volunteers. In a nation that holds only one nationwide election every four years, the nominating convention is an important and uniquely American part of our shared political experience. Besides giv-ing the American people a sustained opportunity to examine the agendas and candidates of the parties, the conventions have three important purposes: the nomination of the party’s candidates for president and vice president; the formulation and adoption of the party’s statement of principles its platform; and the formulation and adoption of rules and procedures governing party activities, including the process for selecting the presidential candidates in the next election cycle.
