Please consider the following as a basis to begin our work.
There seem to be two tasks for the “Foundations Group, to give the Dunn County Democratic Party a general mission or vision and a list of actions necessary to create a viable, healthy organization that can confront the challenges confronting us. The vision or mission statement has basically been created by the Wisconsin State Democratic Party in their Preamble to the Constitution of the Party. Following is a “action” list which was assembled based upon the outline that Bill provided. The list will grow and change as time and circumstances present themselves. The things in this list are tasks that need to be accomplish by the organization within the next 3 to 6 months.
Actions to be taken:
- Establish a permanent office which will serve as a contact place and have all records.
- Recover or establish a database of voters and Democratic Members.
- Maintain an up to date website with information on our activities and as a possible forum for discussion.
- Keep a files of Dunn County Democrats’ activities and pertinent information to include:
Logging member activities, requests and questions.
Donations
