[statecom-discuss] State Comm Proposal #2: Roles-Responsib of State Comm Members

[Mike Heichman]

Hi Members of the State Comm:

I'm asking for feedback; there is time to make improvements before the 
July 29 meeting. I'm also looking for co-sponsors.

Modified Proposal 2: Roles and Responsibilities of Members of the State 
Comm.

A. Every State Comm. member must belong to at least one (but no more 
than 2) local chapter. (The only exceptions are the State officers of 
the GRP.) (Justification: State Comm. members are supposed to represent 
other members of the party.) Chapters cannot be any larger than a county 
or a congressional district. To provide reasonable time for this 
provision to go into effect, every member must belong to a local chapter 
by the time of the first State Committee meeting in 2008. One of the 
functions of the “Membership” (or some other new committee formation) 
will be to assist our members to join and local chapters and provide 
technical assistance to the chapters.

B. Every State Comm. member must be a member of some other aspect of the 
State GRP (including Adcom, Working Committees, member of a Caucus, 
involved with the National Party). The only exceptions are members who 
have just joined the State Comm., who will be expected to quickly become 
involved in other parts of the party.
