June Council of Clubs Meeting Review
Thanks to everyone who filled out the Doodle poll. We had moved our meeting so as not to conflict with events for Juneteeth and Father’s Day weekend.
This month, we were joined by guest speaker Dima Ghawi, who discussed the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion for organizations.
The content included information about various types of unconscious biases and microaggressions, highlighted the negative impact of these biases in the workplace, and provided actionable takeaways to guide individuals to be more Curious, Courageous, and Committed to current and future diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. This results in a positive ripple effect for the personal and professional lives as well as the overall organization and community. For more information, visit DimaGhawi.com and BreakingVases.com.

California Democratic Party Chartering for 2022 Pre-Endorsement Conference
Every two years, the CDP hosts regional pre-endorsement conferences where delegates, including those assigned to clubs, get to have a say in who the Party endorses for U.S. House of Representatives, State Senate, and State Assembly.
Clubs who submit their rosters to the CDP can earn one or more votes based on their number of unique members per Assembly District, at 1 delegate per 20 members.
From our Region 18 Director, Deborah Cunningham-Skurnik:
Roster cut offs for the Pre-Endorsement Conference will be Tuesday, July 27, 2021 [last day to join and count for CDP]. This means you still have time to build up your membership until then. All Members in Good Standing Rosters will be due to Reginal Directors August 1-11, 2021 (exact day TBA).
I will update you as I learn more from our Regional Directors!

LinkTree: Council of Clubs Links and Resources
Check out top links and resources at https://linktr.ee/demclubs.
LinkTree (linktr.ee), (as well as alternatives like Link.bio), is a great way to put all of your important links in one place — like a website, but simpler.
It’s used frequently for social media, especially for Instagram which doesn’t allow links in posts. You can put your club website on your LinkTree/Linkin.bio as well as links to articles or other sources to make it easy for people looking at your posts to find the article/link you’re talking about.
Recurring Zoom Links for Club Meetings
Reminder:
The Club or Coalition shall meet individually at least once quarterly and for all endorsement votes and all meeting dates, times, and locations shall be provided to the SDCDP at least fourteen (14) days prior to the meeting for publication on the SDCDP website. A copy of the notice, agenda, and minutes for business meetings or endorsement meetings shall be supplied via email to the Director of Clubs and the SDCDP.
We’d like to encourage everyone to use a recurring Zoom meeting link for your club so we can add the link in the Party Calendar, which is easier than updating it once a month with a new link.
You can have a recurring meeting and still require registration (if desired), and either automatically or manually approve registrations. You can have them register for each meeting, or once for all meetings where they can use the same personal link every month.
You can still extract attendance records, as Zoom provides a report per meeting.
We used this method all of 2020 for the Council of Clubs and Club Development Committee meetings, and it has worked well. If you need help setting this up, please reach out for assistance.
Party Calendar
If you provided a Gmail address when re-chartering, you are able to edit your club’s meeting entries on the Party Calendar, on which the club is setup with a recurring meeting. You can edit just one occurrence, or the complete series. You can add details of the agenda to each meeting, or change the date and time as required. If you need help, please reach out for assistance.
And as a reminder, if you change your meeting date, time, or location (Zoom link), you must update the calendar item yourself, or email calendar@sddemocrats.org so SDCDP staff can do it.
If you don’t yet have access to edit your club’s Google calendar item, please email calendar@sddemocrats.org and provide the email address you want to use so SDCDP staff can assist you.
