RNC Site Selection Committee To Visit Four Cities To Determine Host Of 2008 National Convention
WASHINGTON, D.C. – RNC Co-Chair Jo Ann Davidson today announced that the Site Selection Committee will visit four cities that submitted bids to host the 2008 Republican National Convention. The nine member committee will visit Cleveland, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York City, and Tampa-St. Petersburg in August. The RNC members are scheduled to vote on the Site Selection Committee’s recommendation at the annual Winter Meeting in January of 2007.
“We were thrilled to receive bids from these four dynamic cities in key regions of the country,” Davidson said. “The Committee looks forward to working with each city’s representatives to determine the best city to host the 2008 convention.”
Bid proposals were submitted to the RNC by May 22. The Site Selection Committee hosted Interested Cities Day in April where several cities sent representatives to work with the committee on their bids.
