Friend --

Would you like to make a difference in Ventura County?  What are the issues most important to you - Environmental justice, Immigrant rights, single-payer healthcare, getting progressives elected?  Now is your chance!

Our chapter is having its annual elections to select our co-chairs, secretary, and treasurer.  These positions are crucial to the planning and direction that our chapter will take in the next year.  Do you have a vision of how you would like to see our chapter move forward over the year?  Will you take on the satisfying challenge of socialist leadership?

Please nominate yourself or someone you think would be a great leader by replying to this email or do so on our #dsageneral slack channel before our next chapter meeting on June 4th.

Here are descriptions of the positions available:

• 2 Co-Chairs – Oversees day to day operations, facilitates working groups and coordinators in any way they need. Responds to media requests. Facilitates communication and resource flow between chapter and national office & working groups.  (At least one of the Co-chairs must identify as a female or as a non-cisgendered person, per our bylaws.)
• Secretary – Takes minutes at chapter meetings. Helps with communication flow between working groups as well as between DSA VC and other chapters. Maintains key contacts list.
• Treasurer – facilitates all transaction and spending necessary to the chapter and working groups, facilitate dues renewals with members, steward corporate and tax documents, file official paperwork as necessary. 

(At least one of these four positions must be a person of color, per our bylaws.)

Make a difference this year!
