The first thing you will have to change if you decide to transition to biannual is having some of your major things, such as strategic goals/plans, budgets, and officer terms move to two year timelines. So officer terms would go from one year to two, annual philanthropy choices and organizational goals would move to a two year timeline. Other things, such as budgets and administrative tasks, may not need to be voted on by the entire membership. Your board of directors could decide these things. Also, look at how much time during convention you are spending on certain areas: what percentage of your time is spent on leadership training? what percentage of time is spent on official business such as budgets and officer elections? This can help you decide if you can transition to biannual conventions. If you are spending a majority of your time on leadership training for members, maybe you could more easily transition to biannual conferences and leadership training in off years.
