Committee Chair

The Chair of the Committee will be elected for a term of two years by a majority of the House District Coordinators at its first regular Committee meeting following the election of representatives to the DCDP Advisory Council (AC). The Chair is responsible for recruiting HD Coordinators and filling any vacancies, with recommendations from Coordinators or the Advisory Council. It is desirable to have two Coordinators from each House District. The Chair is responsible for organizing, building, and strengthening the Committee.

Website Resource Manager will also be elected at the same meeting following the election of representatives to the DCDP AC and is responsible for maintaining the Precinct Chair section of the DCDP website.

Minutes/Reports/Work Products

The Scribe will prepare minutes of all regular meetings and distribute them to all members of the Committee and the DCDP AC. At a minimum, minutes will include date and times of the meeting, motions made and the vote for/against each, the members attending, and any others attending. In the absence of the Scribe, the Chair may appoint anyone attending the meeting as the Scribe for that meeting.

The PCM Committee Chair will provide a written Committee report to the Advisory Council prior to its meetings.
