Is it true that The national chairman of a political party is a volunteer and handles only the planning of the national conventions?

No, that is not true. There may have been a time when national chairs of political parties were just volunteering their time, but in modern times, campaigns have become big business, and political parties play an important role in getting candidates elected. Candidates need to raise large sums of money to get elected, and while they can rely on wealthy political donors, they also rely on their party leaders to help set the political agenda and get the message out across the country. Thus, chairs of political parties are well paid for what is a very demanding job: today, they do much more than run the conventions, although that is one aspect of their job. They are being paid to make sure the public has a favorable view of both the party and the candidates. This means coordinating the campaign in each state (working with campaign managers, consultants, and strategists), honing the message, and guiding the direction of the campaign. It also means going on TV and radio to defend the candidate on behalf of the political party, and to oversee the political ads that will be used to make the other party and its candidates look bad.
