In July, Ikes from across the country will gather in Green Bay, Wisconsin for the 2025 national convention. The theme of this year’s convention is Defending America’s Great Outdoors: A Promise to Future Generations. The League’s 2025 national convention will be held July 18-19 at the Tundra Lodge Resort, Waterpark & Conference Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin. (Book now. As of June 3, only 10 rooms are left!)
The Tundra Lodge is located in the heart of the Stadium District four blocks from legendary Lambeau Field. The main attraction is the 30,000-square-foot waterpark with towering water slides and a lazy river. Green Bay’s Austin Straubel International Airport is served by American, Delta, Frontier, Sun County and United airlines.
Delegate Accreditation
Delegates are the official chapter representatives at the national convention, and they play a key role in decision-making. Chapters may elect or appoint their delegates. The number of delegates allotted to each chapter is determined by the chapter’s size. Allotments are based on membership figures from the end of the previous year. Delegates allotments by chapter are included on pages 13 and 14 of the convention kit. After a chapter has named its delegates, a delegate accreditation form must be completed by a chapter official and submitted to the national office by June 30, 2025. Only accredited delegates can vote at the convention. Download the pdf of the delegate accreditation form.
Policy Resolutions
One policy resolution was approved by the relevant resource committee and the Resolutions Committee for consideration by chapter delegates at the convention. This resolution will be voted on in person at the national convention.
