Central Committee Members and Local Committee Chairs,
Thanks for all your hard work in 2009. As we transition into 2010, the DPVA leadership would like to hear from you about success stories and challenges on the local level. We know that the local committees are where the action happens -- and we want to get your advice before moving into a crucial 2010 cycle.
That's why DPVA staff will be coming to you for "roundtable" discussions with all the central committee members and local committee chairs. We believe it's important to take the lessons learned from this past year and refocus the DPVA towards the 2010 elections and support President Obama's agenda in Washington. So, please join us.
Please respond to this email to RSVP.
Thanks for all you do and I'll see you out on the road,
Don

UPDATE: A member of the DPVA Central Committee told me they were very disappointed to learn that DPVA staff were organizing a series of meetings around the state, but insisting that these regional meetings only be attended by members of the Central Committee itself. This Central Committee member wondered aloud why DPVA staff would pass up opportunities to meet with other Democratic activists who don't normally go, or cannot afford to go, to the DPVA quarterly meetings?
