GET MORE INVOLVED!! JOIN A NATIONAL COMMITTEE!!

Please forward this announcement as appropriate!

The GPUS is recruiting California Greens to participate in the
party-building work to be done at the national level. The only requirements
are that you're a California Green, willing and able to commit to the
position, and can work well with others....well, ok, and have regular
access
to email and willingness to participate in teleconferences, usually
monthly.

The positions of voting members are by appointment; non-voting observers
may
join committees without prior appointment, just contact the committee
chairs
directly.  All appointed positions are for two-year terms and are
renewable.
   Because women and historically marginalized communities, including people
of color, are underrepresented at the national level, we are strongly
encouraging members of those groups to apply.

Most standing national committees have open seats for California Greens:
CA
list of membership in GPUS  committees can be found at
http://www.votegreen.org/gpus-ca/about/committees  with links to each of
the
national committees. A GPUS list of all the committees can be found
athttp://www.gp.org/committees.shtml
Note that we are going through webmaster transition so webpage may not be
totally up to date.  The only committees that has no openings currently is
Media.

RECRUITING WILL BE ONGOING UNTIL THESE POSITIONS ARE FILLED.  A short
2-paragraph biography of your past party (or related) experience and why
you're interested in the position is required for all applicants to be
considered.
One or two references are appreciated, especially for newer Greens, if we
are not familiar with your work.   Local or state party experience is
desired, but not required.
Please send it to sanda at greens.org.

Committee positions may be appointed by the GPUS-CA Standing Delegation at
their next monthly teleconference or at the next plenary meeting, whichever
comes first. The standing delegation increased to 42 members on July 4,
2007.  More delegates have applied and will be elected at the fall plenary
and we will be taking applications for additional delegates or alternates
60 days before the spring plenary.  We are getting ready for the exciting
work of a presidential election year.

For further information or questions, you can contact me,
atsanda at greens.org.
Thank you for considering increasing your participation in our party!
