Executive Board openings — and new volunteer coordinator

1.  At the June 5th county meeting, we will also have elections for several Executive Board positions.  Anyone who is interested in serving on the Executive Board or who wants to suggest someone else for an Executive Board position should contact me.  We have a great Executive Board and whoever joins us will find the experience rewarding. 

A very important vacant position that needs filling is that of Secretary.  We have been truly fortunate to have Cindy Graf serve as our secretary, but she is stepping down now that her term is up.  She has graciously offered to help train her replacement.  Ideally, a candidate for secretary should have good computer skills, with familiarity in working with Word and Excel documents.  Please contact me if you would be interested in this position or know someone who would be a good candidate.

2.  The State GOP’s “March to Victory” plan calls for having a county-wide volunteer team, headed up by a volunteer coordinator.  I am pleased to announce that Tena Moore has graciously agreed to serve in this important position.  Our goal is to have a lot of volunteers, each doing what they are good at and are interested in doing — and each giving short, discreet amounts of time.  There are lots of things that need doing in an election effort — making phone calls with a phone bank team for a few hours, being part of a literature drop team for a couple of hours, being part of a team to help put up signs, being part of a letter-writing committee, helping with computer skills and internet savvy, or putting to use whatever other ideas you might have on how to help our candidates.

Tena’s job will be to put together groups of volunteers for each task that we have, avoiding the “volunteer burnout” that comes from asking the same people over and over again.

Our network of precinct captains is an important backbone to our volunteer network for the upcoming election — but many precincts do not at this time have a precinct captain in Yellowstone County.  Furthermore, each individual precinct captain has experience and expertise at different things and different amounts of time available.  So I encourage all precinct captains as well as all Republicans to contact Tena to get on our county volunteer list so we can start putting together a winning volunteer team. 

This is shaping up to be a year where things look very good for Republicans on many levels, from the Presidential race to control of the legislature.  The key this year is going to be grassroots volunteer effort at the local level. Volunteer today!
