A square dance was held at Riverside, California in 1952. They called it a National Square Dance Convention®. It was a great success and plans were made to do it again in another part of the country.
The dancers in charge of these first Conventions met together and agreed on plans and guidelines for more Conventions. Thus the National Executive Committee (NEC) was formed. Each Director is must be a General Chairman of a National Square Dance Convention® before invited to join the NEC.
Being a General Chairman is the only way to becoming a Director of the National Executive Committee for the National Square Dance Convention®. Thus, the National Executive Committee selects the future Convention sites from among those meeting the requirements and submitting a bid. Criteria for selection are broad and based on dancers needs and desires.
