COS National Update:

September

“COS at Home”

September 3 at 6:00 pm MTN and
8:00 p.m. ET

Few people in American political life have the
knowledge and experience to cogently discuss
public affairs at the national level and the state-
by-state strategy involved in the effort to call an
Article V convention as Convention of States
Senior Advisor and former U.S. Senator Rick

Santorum. That is why you will want to tune in
to watch and listen to him on the next edition of

“COS at Home”,

which airs

September 3 at

6:00 pm MTN and 8:00 p.m. ET

Santorum will discuss his thoughts about the
first seven months of President Donald
Trump's second time around in the White
House, provide analysis of the 2025 election
cycle, and preview the “Race to Freedom”
Convention of States Leadership Summit that
takes place in Indianapolis in September and
at which he will be a featured speaker.
Hosted by Jonathn Viaud.

COS Transitioning to Zulip :

COS National is transitioning from Slack to
Zulip.

Here is the link for the Utah Zulip site:

https://utah.zulip.conventionofstates.com/

https:%%//%%rumble.com/v5hzb8l-exploring-zulip-for-\\ efficient-communication.html

If you are having difficulty getting your
teams on

Zulip

, we now have several

people we can call on to make that
happen.  If you need help, reach out
to your RD and they can hook you up
with assistance!  For our state -
Utah,

our contact will be Susan

Sigler

!  Let's get our teammates on

so we can make it the great
communication tool it can be.  We
would like to see a more robust
participation with this new format.

Using the

Zulip

App is much easier

than trying to work in a browser.  Help
your teams use the platform in the
most effective way, have them
download the app here:
