The National Executive Council is proud to announce that the 49th NFFE National Convention will be held next year in the city of Portland, Oregon. Scheduled for October 1-4, 2012, the union’s quadrennial Convention will take place at the historic Benson Hotel in downtown Portland.

The NFFE National Convention is an excellent opportunity for delegates from every one of NFFE’s nearly 200 Locals to come together and conduct the business of our union. Convention participants elect our national officers, make changes to the union’s bylaws, and participate in discussions with some of the leading voices in labor and government.

Though Convention is still a long ways away, it is never too early to start thinking about how many delegates you would like to send, and making the appropriate financial arrangements. Information on room rates, activities, and the week’s agenda will be made available as the Convention draws nearer.
