Get Involved ~ Committees

"There are so many ways to be active. Choose what you are talented at. If you like to write, then write an article for the paper or a post for your local democratic organization. Become involved by bringing your talents, passions and capacities to your community."~ Susan Davis, CA53rd District 

There are many ways to be involved! We encourage you to choose the path that is uniquely yours. 
The following committees are part of the Carmel Valley Democratic grassroots of activism:

Membership ~ Dr. Divya (chair), Lise, Iris, Kelly, Myia email 

To be effective, the Carmel Valley Democratic Club needs a strong membership base. The membership committee welcomes new members, engages them in activities of the Club such as monthly meetings and social events. The committee maintains the membership database and responds to concerns from members. Most importantly, the committee acts as a liaison between the members and the Board bringing forth ideas, interests and concerns from the members to the Board.
