Meeting Details

Hello fellow PCPs!

This September 23rd will be our last online Central Committee meeting of the year.

Our October meeting will be in person, and in November, we will be heading into the Organizational Meeting where you will be electing your new officers and delegates for 2027 – 2028.

During our upcoming meeting we will be conducting a lot of Central Committee business. First up will be the contribution recommendations made by the endorsements committee. Following that recommendation and vote, we will be hearing from the Budget Committee on the 2027 preliminary budget recommendation.

Following that recommendation and vote we will review two new first readings from our Policy and Resolutions Committee. Lastly, we have some rules updates being presented by the Rules Committee. We will be voting on the rules recommendations as well. What that means is we need you online! Your vote matters and we are covering a lot of important topics.

Please remember to log on at least 15 to 20 minutes early so we have time to credential you in. The meeting begins on time at 7PM.

As I wind down as your Chair, I just want you all to know that I so appreciate seeing all of your smiling faces on Zoom, and I look forward to being with you.

You can read the rules changes, resolutions and review our entire agenda at our CC Resource Center page >>

Sincerely,
Martita Meier
Washington County Democrats Chair 🪑

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.

ZOOM TIPS

Zoom can be used on a computer and by phone, but it is easier to use by computer. We advise doing 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
