Committees

These DFA-Marin Committees welcome new volunteers. Please contact the chair of the committee that interests you for more information on how you might help.

Take Back Red California
Marin County progressive Democrats have joined together in this committee to make contacts with Democratic Party activists in Republican Congressional Districts and red counties. The goal is to develop personal relationships with rural Democrats, work under the direction of their local leaders to support candidates, and achieve Democratic victories.
Chair, Mayme Hubert maymehubert@att.net

MeetUp
This critical committee plans the agenda, puts together the handouts, and organizes the logistics for each monthly meeting. We need creative, organized people on the committee who have a special interest in building our progressive community.
Co-chairs, Cristine Dewey abcdewey@comcast.net and Marjie Sturtevant marjmike@pacbell.net

DFA-Marin Corps
This committee organizes DFA members to participate in community service projects with local nonprofits, such as environmental groups and organizations that provide services to low income Marin residents.
Co-chairs, Evelyn Woo kikuhana@excite.com and Mary Renaud maryre@comcast.net

Membership
This committee is the welcoming face of DFA-Marin; a first contact with the organization. Its role is to build membership, distribute information and help volunteers find a place in DFA.
Chair, RoyAnne Florence rfsails@pacbell.net

Progressive Groups Liaison
A committee that attends meetings of other progressive groups and establishes relationships with key individuals within the groups. Our goal is to facilitate solid coordination among groups in the 2006 election year.
Chair, Dolly Verrue Dolly.Verrue@hotmail.com

Election Reform
Our Election Reform Committee is dedicated to ensuring that Marin County's voting systems have transparency from the moment a person registers through to final tabulation of the vote. Our mission is to educate, demonstrate and legislate, and we are a founding member of the California Election Protection Network–over 29 citizen organizations across California–working together to achieve our common election integrity goals.
Chair, Sherry Healy sherry@califelectprotect.net

Media Reform
This committee will work toward media reform that would require more diverse ownership of public airwaves, more diverse viewpoints in print media, and changes in telecommunication laws. Local issues will also be addressed.
Chair, Jay Hubert j-mhubert@att.net

Data Base
A large, functioning political group such as DFA-Marin needs a quick and dependable way to communicate with its membership; this is the work of the Data Base Committee. We need computer wonks as well as non-technical volunteers to help with (easy) updating.
Chair, Leon Kunstenaar kunstena@comcast.net

Environmental Health
A clear priority of DFA should be a bold attack on destructive Republican environmental policies. This committee will network with major environmental organizations to develop a clear uncompromising position on these issues.
Chair, Dr. Larry Rose larryrosemd@comcast.net

Web Site
The committee works to provide relevant information as effectively, accurately and concisely as possible in both a technical and artistic manner. We need technical volunteers to help with functionality of forms, blogging and general back end issues. All constructive feedback is welcome. Contact Leon Kunstenaar kunstena@comcast.net

Chair, Kathleen Russell kcr@kathleen russell.com
