At this meeting, we will reviewing the process for club rechartering with the San Diego County Democratic Party. Clubs must recharter with the party each year by November 15th. We will be taking and answering you questions about the rechartering process.
The rechartering documents can be found here:
2024 Chartering Form: https://sddems.link/clubcharter
2024 Dues: https://sddems.link/clubdues
2024 downloadable roster template- https://sddems.link/rostertemplate
Member form - for associate member designees other than the president, and if the president is not the individual completing the chartering form - https://sddems.link/memberform,
Additionally, we will considering whether to recommend that the San Diego County Democratic Party update its bylaws to be required to give the clubs at least 45 days notification of upcoming endorsement considerations at regional caucus meetings, instead of the current thirty days required notification. This change would be in order to guarantee that clubs are given, at a minimum, a full month in which to schedule their endorsement considerations. An additional suggestion has been made that this requirement be extended to 60 days (instead of 45 or 30 days).
PRE-ENDORSEMENT BALLOTS WILL BE EMAILED TO ALL DELEGATES AND CLUB REPRESENTATIVES TOMORROW AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 14

Votebuilder
All clubs have the option to request a Votebuilder/VAN account from the San Diego County Democratic Party, which has a quick lookup tool you can use to verify member information based on voter registration data (one per club).
Please email clubs@sdddemocrats.org, and SDCDP staff will get back to you as soon as they can.
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.
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 set up 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 clubs@sddemocrats.org.
If you don’t yet have access to edit your club’s Google calendar item, please email clubs@sddemocrats.org and provide the email address you want to use so SDCDP staff can assist you.
Do you have a suggestion, idea, question or complaint regarding the council of clubs or a club? You can send feedback to the Club development committee at https://sddems.link/clubfeedback
