3:30PM Social time & check-in, 4:00PM start, Zoom registration
Election Analysis
Longtime club member Cynara Dawn Kidwell, who was recently elected to Director of Clubs for the San Diego County Democratic Party, will review the results of the local elections last November. She’ll discuss what we can learn from our successes and failures — the impact of walking precincts, coalescing behind community candidates, and acting strategically.
Boards and Commissions
A staff member from Terra Lawson-Remer’s County Supervisor’s office will talk to us about applying and serving on county Boards and Commissions such as the Human Relations Commission, Behavioral Health Advisory Board, Civil Service Commission, and the Committee for Persons with Disabilities.
These advisory boards are an extension of our County Board of Supervisor’s office and Terra Lawson-Remer relies on appointed members to advise her and the full Board of Supervisors in making good decisions.
There’s also a webinar on Monday Jan 9, 6PM and you can register here.
