Our Executive Board works collaboratively to develop policies, priorities, and strategy for the local Democratic Party. The various committee chairs and County Board District Chairs lead activities to support party building, community outreach, and local political campaigns. Our party officers — Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, Secretary and General Counsel — are elected at the biennial County Convention by the membership at large. District Chairs are elected by the members of their respective Districts, while the remaining members of the Board are appointed by the Chair and confirmed by the members of the Executive Board.
