    <p>I think phone calls from a friendly person simply encouraging
      people to attend will boost attendance significantly. For each
      state, you would want to understand the process for getting people
      added as delegates. Additionally, in non-presidential-years, there
      are often fewer attendees meaning more states with opening. And
      people who aren't added to their own state affiliates are often
      picked up by other states.  Also, you can encourage people to
      attend even if they aren't voting delegates. Voting delegates are
      supposed to sit through tedious, extremely boring discussions and
      votes regarding the platform and bylaws (something I've usually
      skipped myself the times I was a delegate). Non-voting delegates
      have the option of attending seminar sessions or sneaking off to <a

        O'Briens</a> for a hurricane. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Seriously, the phone call saying "Hi, this is Jane, I wanted to
      see if you would come to our national convention in New Orleans.
      We had so much fun in Orlando in 2016. "</p>
    <p>Of course a line up of speakers that includes "cool, fun,
      entertaining" speakers and trainers that attendees would want to
      hang out with after their speeches, as opposed to "dry, scholarly"
      stuff, probably helps. So, encourage the convention committee to
      sign me up in a speaking slot. <br>
