To PCO's
Below are the main points that I feel need to be focused on in helping to build a stronger Pierce County Democratic Party in 2007-2008. My experience* tells me that there will be many other endeavors along the road towards a national election that we will have to do to assure a Democratic victory in 2008. I am a realist, without funds obtaining our goals will be much more difficult. Thus, fundraising is important. Together, we can make it all happen. I look forward to working with all of you in the future.
Below my points you will find a link to the PCO Handbook, thought you might find it an interesting read.
Looking forward to seeing you on January 13th, 2007
Jean Brooks,
Chair, Pierce County Democrats
1. Develop improved communication with PCO's, Legislative Districts, the Central Committee, the Executive Board and its committees and our elected officials. Examples of how this can be accomplished include:
Upgrading our website
Developing an electronic newsletter
Focus groups with citizens to determine how we can better serve their concerns
Inviting PCO's to attend E-Board Meetings
2. Continue to build on our fund raising with two or three major events each year and other smaller fundraisers used as party building.
3. Continue to build our base doing the following:
Assisting the Legislative Districts with filling all PCO positions.
Increased Voter registration
Voter ID
Volunteer recruitment
Recruiting observers
Training for PCO's at the county level
