GREEN PARTY COUNTY CONTACTS MESSAGE

This is an announcement from the GPCA Contact List.  For more 
information, or questions related to the topic of the posting, please do

stated in the email.

Dear Greens,

Two years ago, as part of the national party's re-apportionment process,
the number of national party delegates from California was increased
from 13 to 42.  Because our delegates (and alternates) have two-year
terms, the majority of those seats are now up for election:  32 of the
42 delegate seats, and 28 of the 42 alternate seats will be voted on at
the upcoming May state party plenary meeting.  (Note:  About 14 to 18
current delegation members will likely be running for re-election --
mostly for delegate seats.  But even so, over 40 seats will still be
open for new delegation members).

If you would like to apply for one of these seats, please send your
statement to:  apps-archive at lists.cagreens.org 
<mailto:apps-archive at lists.cagreens.org>  as soon as possible, and
definitely no later than March 16, 2009.  (Please indicate whether you
are applying to be a delegate or an alternate).  Your statement should
include biographical information about positions, experience, skills,
and/or service that you have had (both within and outside of the Green
Party), along with your vision or commitment for the position.  (Please
see statements submitted by previous candidates for examples, here:
http://www.cagreens.org/cc/co-cos/applications_2008/gpus_delegation/ ).
  You should also be familiar with the delegate and alternate duties,
guidelines, and expectations, which are listed on our state party
website at:  http://www.cagreens.org/delegates/delegate_guidelines.shtml

If you have any questions, please contact any current delegation members
whom you may know, or you can contact our delegation co-chairs:  Sanda
Everette ( sanda at greens.org <mailto:sanda at greens.org> ) and Greg Jan ( 
gregjan4 at yahoo.com <mailto:gregjan4 at yahoo.com> ).  Of
course, please be sure to forward this message to all relevant local and
county listserves and e-mail lists!  And thanks in advance for helping
us to maintain California's delegation to the national party!

Sincerely,

Sanda Everette
Greg Jan
