Announcement/Open for application:
Position of GPCA Delegation member (or alternate) to
the Green Party of United States National Committee

Election at September 8th-9th GPCA General Assembly
Applications due July 9th, 2007; send to
mailto:applications at cagreens.org

Dear GPCA member,

The Green Party of California is always looking for
interested members to serve at the national level of
the Green Party. In particular, with the 2008 election
cycle nearly upon us, the next couple of years promise
to be a very exciting time on the national level --
and hence a good reason for YOUR participation and
input.

Currently, the GPCA has 13 Delegate seats and 13
Alternate seats. and all delegation seats were filled
at recent May 26th-27th General  Assembly in San
Francisco.

However, Delegate Apportionment has recently changed
at the national level, and when all states are
officially given their new numbers, our GPCA
delegation will increase to 42 members. Some of these
extra seats were filled in San Francisco, at least
four delegate and up to 40 alternate seat still
remain.

To fill them, there will be elections by the General
Assembly at the GPCA Plenary in Riverside on September
8-9, 2007 for those seats.

The job description for these positions is at
http://www.cagreens.org/cc/co-cos/job_gpus_delegation.php

To apply, you must send your biography/applications in
at least 60 days in advance of the September General
Assembly for inclusion in the plenary packets, as is
specified in our state party bylaws.

An editable application (including space for an
optional campaign statement) can be found at
http://www.cagreens.org/cc/co-cos/application_gpus_delegation.rtf
.

(Past applications are available for review at
http://www.cagreens.org/cc/co-cos/applications_2007/gpus_delegation)

PLEASE SEND YOUR APPLICATION BY JULY 9th TO
mailto:applications at cagreens.org
. It will then go onto a website to be viewed by all.

Because the GP-US delegation often makes its own
recommendations to GPCA General Assembly delegates
about who to choose as National Committee members, we
in the GPUS delegation also want to know more about
you. We strongly encourage those who self-identify as
a minority, whether by region, gender, ethnicity,
race, sexual orientation, or disability. So please
send a copy of your application to one or both of the
delegation co-chairs listed below. We also prefer
those who have already been involved on the state
and/or county party level. (If you think we may not be
familiar with your Green Party activity, please send a
referral from a state or county representative.)

For more information about the GPCA's delegation to
the GPUS, including a roster of current member, you
can go to http://www.votegreen.org/gpus-ca.

Note also that the GP-US Annual National Meeting will
be held in Reading, PA on July 12-15. All Greens are
welcome to come as observers to the meeting... even if
you are not a delegate. There will also be a variety
of workshops. For more information about that
important meeting, see www.gpanc.org/

And don't forget that if you are elected now, you have
the opportunity to be part of the delegation at the
annual meeting occuring during the 2008 Presidential
convention.

Feel free to contact the Co-Chairs with your
questions. We look forward  to hearing from you. Thank
you.

Sincerely
