Republican National Convention vice chair to speak Feb. 26 in Lake Wylie

Glenn A. McCall, vice chairman of the 2016 Republican National Convention, will be the guest speaker at the Clover-Lake Wylie Republican Women’s monthly brunch and meeting at 10 a.m. Feb. 26 at River Hills Country Club.

McCall will discuss the state and national political scene, and give insight into the upcoming 2016 Republican National Convention, which will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, in July. His talk will focus on how the Electoral College works, the possibility of a brokered convention and the inner workings of the national GOP.

A retired senior vice president of the Charlotte-based Bank of America, McCall has served as chairman of the York County GOP. In 2008, South Carolina Republicans elected him as their first black national committeeman, and he is currently vice president of the state party. McCall co-authored the RNCs post-mortem’s “Growth and Opportunity” report and travels extensively on behalf of the RNC.

McCall serves on Winthrop University’s Board of Trustees, and he and wife Linda are active in local Christian ministries.

Prior to the speaker, there will be a business meeting and workshop on precinct organization and getting out the votes. Also, S.C. Rep. Ralph Norman, Dist. 48, and Planning Commission member Jamie Henrickson will exchange viewpoints on the pros and cons of the rapidly expanding growth in Lake Wylie.

Cost to attend the brunch meeting is $10 per person. To reserve a seat with or without brunch (please specify), call 803-831-2608 or 803-831-2547 by Feb. 23. The meeting is open to the public, both men and women. Visitors and potential members are invited.
