Proposal Name/Sponsors

- for consideration by Adcom, Fundraising Committee, ComCom, Membership & Diversity Comm, Local Chapters & Treasurer
Proposal Preamble
Background:
We want to grow our party. We want our party to become more visible and respected for our work. We often go to events where organizations, who have members with T-Shirts, stand out in the crowd; even a small number indicate the presences of a larger organization. We need our own GRP T-Shirt.
Financial impact:
- The Party will spend no more than $1,000 for our first order.
- The goal will be for the party to raise at least $500 for the t-shirts.
- We will ask our members, and invite supporters, to purchase the t-shirts at cost, and encourage those who can to make an additional contribution for our low-income active members who desire to have a t-shirt.
- Low income members who are active members of the State Party and/or local chapters will be asked to make a contribution for the t-shirts. However, no active member will be excluded from having a t-shirt because of income.
Implementation
- Through our e-mail lists, we will recruit a special task force which will design a GRP T-Shirt and find a company or a group of creative people that will make our product
- This committee will make a recommendation to Adcom, who will approve the design and company.
- We will use our party's network (ComCom, Membership and Diversity Comm, Local Chapters, etc.) and encourage our members and general public to purchase and wear our t-shirts.
- Six months after the selling of the first t-shirt, we will seek feedback about the successes and failures of this investment.
Proposal Language
The GRP will create our own t-shirts and encourage our members and supporters to purchase and wear them.
