Dear LGBT Caucus Members:

The Arizona LGBT Caucus holds elections for its executive board every two years. Historically, this election has occurred in conjunction with the Arizona Democratic Party’s own reorganization meeting in January. This year will be no different.

Plan to attend the LGBT Caucus Reorganization meeting on the morning of January 26, 2013 at the Mesa Dobson High School. To meet the goals of the Bylaws, theNominating Committee has put forth the list of candidates for offices of:

• Chair - C.J. Carenza, Maricopa
• Chair - Carol Comito, Maricopa
• Vice-Chair - Mohur Sidwha, Pima
• Secretary - Brett Caldwell, Coconino
• Treasurer - Kristin Gwinn, Maricopa

In addition to the above names, the Nominating Committee may make nominations before the reorganization meeting, and nominations will be accepted from the floor at the reorganization meeting. If you wish to submit your name, or nominate another for one of the offices listed above, please notify Robert Donat, Chair of the Nominating Committee, by e-mail at robert@robertdonat.com, so we may share your intent with the other caucus members in advance of the meeting. To vote you must be a member of the LGBT Caucus at least 15 days before the election.No proxys will be allowed.  Membership is open to any registered Arizona Democrat who has completed theregistration form.

Following the elections, the newly elected Chair will be appointing the membership of the four standing committees. If you would like to become more involved with the Caucus, and don’t want to be elected to an office, consider becoming a member of the Fundraising,Membership, Rules & Bylaws, or the Regional Advisory Committees. Complete descriptions can be found in our Bylaws. 

Time allowing, once the Elections are over we will move on to our general meeting with a host of topics. Please plan on sticking around and learning how to be involved and work within the Democratic Party for the rights of the LGBT community.

Sincerely,

Robert Donat
Chair, LGBT Caucus Nominating Committee
