Represent our Democratic Professionals!

By signing up, you are committing to attending a once-monthly call and helping to execute our first conference in May 2027. We estimate the role to be about 1 hour per month in the slow season and up to 8 hours during the conference execution. Board seats cover each region of the state and there is one at large.

Currently, all board seats and executive offices are volunteer roles, because we haven’t asked for money yet and notoriously, we have none. Even when we ask for said money, we have no idea if these seats will ever be paid, so don’t bank on it. You must do it for the love of the game.

How the board works

The first board will be a short commitment serving just until the conference in May 2027. We’ll plan an election and the membership will elect all five seats and officers. After that, terms are two years, staggered.

Regions

A regional seat is for someone who lives or does most of their work in that region. The seat at large is open to anyone in the state. Regional leaders should come prepared to help build the local professional network in their area. We’re building this as we go and this first board will have a big hand in what PDP looks like in the future. Exciting times!

Officers

Officers are elected from the membership and are not members of the board. They are responsible for day-to-day operations and preparing for the monthly board meetings. All offices are up for election at the May 2027 conference. Until then, officers are appointed ad hoc.
