At the February Annual Convention, the Green Party of Allegheny County (GPOAC) elects delegates to represent the local party at meetings of the Green Party of Pennsylvania (GPPA) State Committee. Delegates help run statewide teams, vote on a number of issues including endorsing candidates for office, set a statewide budget and fundraising goals, and build a long-term vision of how to build the Green movement in Pennsylvania and beyond. Delegates serve one year terms.

Delegates are expected to work closely with the GPOAC Executive Committee to represent the views of all registered Greens in Allegheny County. If there is a vacancy, interested members may request nomination to fill the open delegate position for the remainder of the term.
