District Executive Committees

Find below LPTexas' Bylaw regarding District Executive Committees. I'm posting this in reference to the Campaign Support Department Report. If there is a district that needs to gather to fill an emptied candidate position, it's time to organize those now, before we are scrambling in the tiny potential window. As SLEC reps, we can help house and congressional districts organize as well.

I have ample experience organizing District Executive Committees and I'm more than happy to help people organize those as needed. It's a pretty good idea to go ahead and select a chair so that when the DEC needs to take action, it doesn't have to wait for the State Chair to select a Chair.

Anyway, here's the bylaw and the whole document: https://lpt.egnyte.com/navigate/file/1e0de5dd-bbbc-4a5a-acfd-f621736ec3c2

No. Following convention, the members of the district executive committee are different (like how SLEC changes following convention), and the person who was the chair previously is no longer chair. There's no perpetuity to the DECs.
 
Not the "people" but the structure. It was well done. If we just resend those original notes to the counties, they could put the correct chair in the position, and we wouldn't need to redo all the work that created a process that worked pretty well. Why start from 0?

For example, Montgomery and Harris share TX District 18. You sent out a note to Montgomery and Harris saying Montgomery was the chair, and Harris should attend (you had names in those spots). That worked. Can't we just do that?
 
I don't know that resending those notes would be an option since I don't have access to that email account anymore, and I suspect Christy doesn't have access to my old inbox since I didn't inherit Stephanie's inbox...but maybe Austen would know how to access it?

Christy may have access to the document I built to base those notes on, but it wouldn't surprise me if it has no more since it was largely just a messy working document, not a sharable product.

However, I don't really know what structure you're referring to except what's already laid out in the bylaws. Are you looking for a list of who the chairs are in your districts?

I've already been working with the Chair to determine which districts needed a temporary chair. He should be notifying counties when he's ready.
