We are excited to announce the 2013 LPAR State Convention to be held on April 27th at the Comfort Inn and Suites Downtown Little Rock (707 Interstate 30). This year, our convention will be in two parts: a business session and a social event. We invite you all to join us as we gear up for another exciting year!
Convention Tickets are available for $20 through April 20th by clicking HERE. Your ticket includes admission into both the Business Session and the Cocktail Caucus.
BUSINESS SESSION
From 2:00-5:00pm we will convene for our business session that will include speakers, Executive Committee elections and District Caucuses. Reports will be given by our Secretary and Treasurer. Our keynote speaker will be Brett Bittner, elected Libertarian, Executive Director of the LPGA and the Chairman of the Libertarian State Leadership Alliance. If you want to know “Why Libertarians Lose and How Libertarians Can Win,” then you won’t want to miss Mr. Bittner.
If you have been a member of the LPAR for one year (as of April 27th) then you are eligible to run for a position on our Executive Committee. Positions elected by the full membership are Chairman, Vice Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary and an At-Large Representative. First, Second, Third and Fourth District Representatives are elected by the members who reside in those particular Congressional Districts. If you don’t know which district you live in, click HERE.
Parking at the Comfort Inn is free of charge. Please arrive a few minutes early to receive your name tag and a packet of information. The ballroom is located in the area behind the front desk.

Paid attendees will also be invited to attend a social gathering immediately after the business session at the Cornerstone Pub and Grill (314 Main Street, North Little Rock) where a light “Pub Fare” buffet dinner will be available. A cash bar will be offered in our private upstairs room and additional food may be purchased off the menu.
