2010

A dozen members of the DPOE board, joined by two organizers from the New Trier Democratic Party, gathered Saturday to discuss a major organizing effort planned for this fall's general election. The session, led by DPOE Secretary Brian Miller, included a discussion of where to target organizing efforts, how to re-engage volunteers and activists in 2010, and how to increase the DPOE's power to shape both the state and national Democratic Party.
