Some 120 Greens from around the nation gathered at the University of Iowa in Iowa City July 24-27 to talk strategy, learn new skills, celebrate victories, and plan the future of the Green movement in America.  The 2013 Annual National Meeting included workshops, films, speeches, and lots of face-to-face interactions.  The developing Green Party strategic plan was briefed and reviewed.  A luncheon address by Presidential nominee Jill Stein was a highlight.  An evening fundraiser at the Trumpet Blossom restaurant provided a boost to Green Party coffers.  Everyone left with new ideas and new enthusiasm for the ambitious plans of the party.
