[BillCunningham]

I hope there is no need for those of us whose terms are up to respond.

>Hello StateCom colleagues,

>At the last StateCom meeting, a proposal was passed that supplements

>least one working committee. Members of AdCom, representatives to the
>national party, and those who chair a local chapter can consider that
>function as fulfilling the requirement if they wish.

>The new requirement is that members not take on more than two working

>honor system be employed. If people find themselves becoming active on
>a committee they did not select, they should consider withdrawing from
>one of their choices.

>NOTE:
>At tomorrow's meeting, there will be an opportunity to identify your
>committee(s) of choice. You will have heard committee reports which
>might help you make your selection. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND,
>please consider this your invitation to respond. Send your selections
>to <adcom.members AT green-rainbow.org>. This will enable AdCom to
>follow up as needed in re-activating or strengthening the working
>committees.

>Please note: People do not have to be on StateCom to participate on a
>working committee. In fact, quite the contrary! Please coordinate with
>other StateCom reps from your area to get the word out that committee
>work can be productive and fun. The well-being of the Party depends on
>broad participation.

>At one of the AdCom meetings since the last StateCom meeting, each
>attendee identified the committee(s) they intended to work with. As of
>that date, the results were as follows:
>
>Nat Fortune, Co-Chair: fundraising, convention
>
>Merelice, Co-Chair: predatory lending subcommittee of Rainbow
>Coalition Caucus (which she defines as a working committee).
>fundraising
>
>Note: As spokepeople for the GRP, the co-chairs also work with the
>communications committee. The approval of at least one of them (along
>with Treasurer) is needed for financial transactions.
>
>Larry Ely, Secretary: platform
>
>Dan Melnechuk, Treasurer: procedures, tech; as Treasurer, also works
>with fundraising.
>
>Jamie O'Keefe, Membership Director: membership, tech
>
>Eli Beckerman, Communications Director: communications, tech
>
>Wanda Boeke, Fundraising Director: fundraising
>
>Grace Ross, diversity rep: communications, fundraising, predatory
>lending subcommittee of Rainbow Coalition Caucus (which she defines as
>an identity caucus and not a working committee)
>
>Rick Purcell, diversity rep: CDLC
>
>Martina Robinson, diversity rep: not present, choice to be determined.
>
>Gary Hicks, guest at meeting: CDLC
>
>Except for Jamie, all the above are also reps or alternate reps on
>StateCom. In addition, Eli and Merelice serve on the Strategic Plan
>Work Group.
