The re-org meeting is just a month away. Be a part of our leadership team!

Hello 11^th LD Democrats!  As you all know, we’re having our reorganization meeting on January 15^th 2013.  Elected PCOs are going to be able to vote, but the positions are open to all members in good standing (you paid your dues for 2012 and at least showed up to one meeting in that year).

We would love it if more members would participate and become part of our leadership team.  Are you interested in serving in some sort of way?  Speak up!  Please send an email to webmaster@11thlddems.org.  Even if there are people currently running, don’t be shy if you’re interesting in running for a spot.  We’re not endorsing anyone for positions; we just want to encourage participation.  The current declared candidates for officer positions are:

  • Robert Kangas
• Secretary:

The following at-large positions have historically been appointed by the chair and confirmed by the membership via a vote.  These positions may also be continued by the new chair and put to a vote, but possibly at a later meeting.  If you’re at all interested, feel free to speak up:
