Announcements
You can register here for all of the Council of Clubs Meetings and you’ll get details on how to join from your computer/smartphone/regular phone. If you have any problems please email clubs@sddemocrats.org.
Today’s meeting will focus on Online Voting for clubs. Thank you to everyone who’s shared what their club is doing to hold online meetings, what’s working well and what needs some improvement.
We’ll share our collective knowledge and the Club Development Committee will outline a proposal to ensure the integrity of our voting process.
We hope to reach a consensus on the preferred voting method and then have the Party provide a Safe Harbor rule that clubs can easily adopt before the end of June 2020.
At the April 30th special meeting the Central Committee suspended…
…the Policies and Procedures portions regarding binding of a club's associate votes until Director of Clubs and the Chair certify that a club has acceptable accommodations to COVID-19 pandemic electronic meeting policies, and that such acceptable accommodations be developed by clubs individually within 60 days of today.
- Unapproved Minutes 4/30/20
Thanks for everyone who completed the form already but for those who didn’t, we still need every club to let the Party know of changes to your meeting details, newly elected officers, and bylaws. To make it easy, the Party has setup an online form here.
I look forward to seeing/hearing you at 10AM - Zoom meeting registration
Cheers, John Loughlin
