Zoom can be used on a computer and by phone, but it is easier to use by computer. We advise to do your best to attend via a laptop or desktop. You can also join using the link with your cellphone, but the screen will be more condensed.  Those without a computer can also attend by calling the number listed above, and typing in the Meeting ID.

NOTE: Zoom via the phone has more limitations. You will be limited to:

  • Mute/Unmute = *6
  • Raising and lowering your hand = *9

Please reach out to Patrick Maguire, our chair if you have any questions:

Meeting Details

Less than 2 weeks now until Election Day! This is the time to be making every last effort to turn out voters and volunteer with campaigns to make the difference in close elections!

As you know, our Organizational Meeting where we elect county party leadership and delegates to the state party will be happening on Saturday, November 21, 2020.  Current PCP’s should have received an email with a link to the ballot for the nominating committee for the upcoming reorganizational meeting for the county party.  If you are a PCP, please make sure to vote on that ballot prior to the October Central CC meeting.

What to expect for online credentialing for virtual meetings

When you log in to the Zoom meeting, you will be held in a Zoom “waiting room” until a credentialing volunteer admits you to the meeting. Once in the room, if we are able to tell that you are a PCP by name or by visually recognizing you on video, we will consider you credentialed and no further action will be required. If we cannot easily recognize you by face or name and match you with our PCP list, we will interact with you to verify your identity before you are considered credentialed to vote in the meeting. Guests will also be verified in this way but will be labeled with “ZZZ-” in front of their names to help us easily tell which attendees may speak and vote.
