“Ladies and Gentlemen, this committee’s mandate is an honour and burden. Your responsibilities include producing the official Delegate’s list, booklets, and tags for all participants and observers, as well as for the Board of Trustees, and mobilizing, accrediting, and ensuring the welfare of all delegates and dignitaries.
“This is not merely an administrative task. It is a sacred trust. You are the gatekeepers of our convention’s integrity. You will be the first to welcome every participant, and in doing so, you will set the tone for the entire event.
“As we embark on this crucial internal journey, we cannot ignore the broader context. Our party is navigating a political terrain that is, indeed, both uncharted and turbulent. In these times, I wish to make a heartfelt appeal.”
