The Purpose of the Citizens First Congress Convention is to elect the CFC's platform of issues that the CFC will support during the 2023 legislative session.

The goal of the convention is to bring together people from all over the state with differing viewpoints. We have a structured process for our convention that allows each organization’s delegates to participate in a fair manner.  

Our convention process follows many of the same procedures as the legislative process. By the end of the convention, we will carry a platform of the issues that we believe are most important to move Arkansas forward.

We strive for consensus — which involves several steps, taken in order:

1. Clarifying questions and responses from the group making the proposal.

2. Airing of concerns and discussion about how to improve the proposal by taking into consideration those concerns and amending the proposal.

3. Call for consensus (no one raises objections) on the final proposal.

4. If there are objections on a proposal, then we fall back on voting.
