Outreach Committee

Chair:  Ginger Blair

We have updated the structure and general functions of our Outreach Committee within the Democratic Party.  The Outreach Committee now consists of a number of different subcommittees, each headed up by a subcommittee chair. These subcommittee chairs are responsible for holding separate meetings to discuss and tackle the issues facing their specific subcommittee. Additionally, all subcommittees will work together with the party on large-scale outreach projects within the county.

If you are interested in serving on one of these subcommittees either as a chair or just as a member, please contact Ginger Blair at email.email@email.com. The Outreach Committee and all of its subcommittees are open to anyone who is interested and willing to serve.
