PHC CR Board Passes Joint Resolution with Christendom CR Board

Shortly after the PHC CR board elections with at least four members voting in favor the following resolution was passed by the PHC CR board. This resolution was also passed by the Christendom CR board.

The past two 10th District Conventions have been held on the same date as Patrick Henry College's graduation. This year Patrick Henry College and Christendom have their graduations on the same day. The resolution simply requests that the convention be set prior to the graduation dates of the only two schools with college republican chapters in the district so that the most politically active young people can participate in the convention.
