To-Do by TODAY (Wednesday), August 11th:
2021 Club Roster Submission Form (https://www.cademsclubs.org/docs/2021%20Club%20Roster%20Submission%20Form.pdf)
***notes from Codi:
Ignore that it says Assembly District must be listed on roster submission. That is not required this year due to redistricting coming up and is not on the provided template or registry website linked below.
This form, a copy of your bylaws, and your membership roster should be sent to your Regional Director(s) and Chartering Authority.
If you are a countywide club or overlap multiple regions, send them to both/all Regional Directors.
If your chartering authority is the San Diego County Democratic Party (most likely), you can send to clubs@sddemocrats.org and Party staff will receive it as well as myself.
Young Dems may be chartered with the California Young Democrats. Email secretary@cayoungdems.com if using CYD as your chartering authority.
CADEM Club Member Registry (https://www.cademsclubs.org/)
Add your club to the CADEM Club Member Registry first, before selecting the County and the Club, by clicking “Register Your Club” button and then completing the brief online form
Once the club is added to the registry, then you can select the “Select County” and the “Select Club” from the dropdown menu within the club registry.
Clubs can begin adding club members individually by clicking the “Add Members” button and filling out the information.
If you have more than 50 members to enter, you can upload an excel file to the registry at once for the club members to be processed. Download the CDP Excel File from this registry for uploading 50+ club members.
NOTE from CDP staff Emma Harper (edited for clarity):
You do not yet have to choose which members will be your potential voting representative(s) during the pre-endorsement conference.
(There is a place for this on the leftmost column on the roster excel template or the check box within the individual member entry option, if you have.)
If you don't know who your club rep(s) will be, please leave that cell blank. Clubs should begin to think about who may be the rep(s), but we won't really be able to place the club representatives in their proper district until the new lines are final.
Please be sure to use the exact template provided in the registry to upload your club roster. If you do not have information for the date of birth or who will be the rep(s), please leave the cell blank, it's not a required field. (If you don’t include DOB though, it may prevent the CDP from verifying some of your members.)
As a reminder, I am just the messenger! I’m happy to help answer questions if I can, but am not the primary person responsible for this Party function.
Thank you! :)
Best regards,
Codi Vierra
Director of Clubs
San Diego County Democratic Party
