Hello,
MARK YOUR CALENDARS for SUNDAY, JUNE 28th from 1pm - 3pm!
On
behalf of the Our Wisconsin Revolution Board of Directors I would like
to officially announce that the 2020 Our Wisconsin Revolution State
Convention and Board Elections will be held virtually on Sunday, June
28th from 1pm to 3pm.
We will be sending out more detailed
information on the agenda for the day in the coming weeks. We certainly
wish that we could plan an in-person meeting, but we want everyone to
stay safe. We'll definitely look for in-person opportunities down the
road.
At the Convention we will discuss the important work of the
organization - building a grassroots movement to take back our state
by, of, and for the people!
A main business item for the
State Convention is the annual Board of Directors Elections. We will
conduct the vote, as we have in the past, virtually. Voting will open up
on June 28th and be open for a period of time (in the past we have done
48 hours) to give people a chance to review candidate statements and
vote. You must be a current member of OWR to vote in the Board Election.
We have a number of openings for the Board. Please consider stepping up for leadership!
The
Board meets quarterly via zoom video conference. In non-COVID times we
have tried at least 1-2 times a year to get together as a board in
person for a half-whole day meeting. The Board is made up of 2
Co-Chairs, 5 At-Large members and 1 member per Congressional District.
Board members are elected for 2-year terms. Please note below: There are
a number of seats where someone has stepped down, so the person filling
this open position will serve out the remaining year of the 2-year
term. You must be a current member of OWR to run and vote for the board.
The following seats are open or up for election in 2020.
1 Co-Chair position (term 2020-2022) (Joel Rogers incumbent)
4
At-Large positions (top two vote-getters will serve 2020-2022, other 2
will serve out 1-year remainder of the term, 2020-2021) (Jaime Alvarado
and Mary Kay Baum incumbents, 2 open positions)
CD 1 (term 2020-2022) (open)
CD 2 (term 2020-2022) (Charless Uphoff incumbent)
CD 3 (term 2020-2022) (Joni Anderson incumbent)
