PCDO Leadership Election ProcessYour Democratic Club need you! - Run for the PCDO Executive Board!The next PCDO Leadership Election will take place at the annual potluck dinner and leadership election meeting in January of 2009. However, if you are interested in serving, you can contact the nominating chair in case a vacancy occurs. All interested PCDO members are welcomed and encouraged to run for a position on the executive board by contacting a member of the nominating committee. For a current list of executive board members click here.
The PCDO's nominating committee ensures that there are candidates for each position and seeks to diversify the executive board, but it does not recommend candidates. This is a change in the bylaws that was made in 2006 in order to create an open process, invite participation and diminish the influence of a small nominating committee over a large membership election. Any member who wants to run for a position will have his or her name listed on the ballot without the prejudice of a nominating committee recommendation (or lack thereof).
Potential candidates should contact the nominating chair or a member of the nominating committee, below, at the latest by two weeks before the annual meeting. However, the committee begins actively seeking candidates in October. If you are thinking about running, any member of the nominating committee will be happy to talk with you and to advise you about potential competition if that will help you make your decision.
