“I am absolutely delighted that Kellyanne has agreed to be a keynote speaker at our state convention,” Hayes said. “Her nonstop passion and dedication is inspiring to all. She’s an integral piece of the Republican Party as a whole, and we thank her greatly for her willingness to support our state party.”
Conway, a businesswoman and Republican strategist was named to head Donald Trump’s campaign in July of 2016. She is, according to the NCGOP, the first woman to successfully manage a presidential campaign.

“She’ll be anchoring the convention for us,” Woodhouse said. “She’ll be speaking at our Saturday lunch, which has usually been our most well attended event.
“We’re looking forward to the convention. It’s a great weekend to be in Wilmington, the weather will be great. We’re planning a beach party for Friday night, and there will be some other events too we’re still working on,” he added.
The NCGOP State Convention is Friday through Sunday, June 2 -4, at the Wilmington Convention Center, 515 Nutt St. Registration is taking place online.
