Attention All San Bernardino County Democrats! Register for the California Democratic Party 2021 Delegate Election Now!

What do ADEM Delegates do for you at the State Party Level?

“The California Democratic Party  Bylaws (Article VI) provide that an Assembly District Election Meetings (ADEMS) be held in each of the 80 California Assembly Districts in January of each odd-numbered year to elect 7 “self-identified female” and 7 “other than self-identified female” to be Assembly District Delegates (ADDs) to represent the Assembly District they are registered in. These elections are open to all California Democrats.

Assembly District Delegates (ADD) and the Democratic State Central Committee (DSCC) are responsible for planning and attending informational meetings throughout the region and working with other DSCC delegates throughout California to represent their community.

AD Delegates are elected by voters (to participate in the ADEM you MUST be a registered Democrat in that Assembly District). Together, Delegates vote and conduct Party business at the yearly State Convention and Executive Board meetings. Register. Your stamped return ballot will be delivered to your home address. Go to ademelections.com/ Vote for your ADD Candidates!

Meeting and Agenda Notification Guidelines

In order to increase transparency and allow for maximum participation, the Executive Board of the SBCDCC has adopted the following practices and guidelines for receiving and giving notice regarding meetings and agenda items…

RE-ORGANIZATION UPDATE

Greetings to our new and returning Central Committee elected Democrats! In order to schedule a re-organization meeting for the SBCDCC, the following steps need to occur:

  • Every new and returning member of the Central Committee was sent a letter via USPS with the information needed to credential.  Most of the returned responses have only come from newly elected members.  Some have been sent back via email once they contacted us. We must gather up-to-date information from returning members also.  We cannot assume that no changes in profiles have occurred over the past four years. We have to verify that we have correct addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers and emails in order to begin to schedule a meeting.
  • We have members who do not have Internet access and we must find other ways to accommodate those individuals.  They cannot be disenfranchised or ignored. This also applies to anyone who may require ADA accommodations. 
  • We are currently attempting to solve the problem that the SBCDCC  Bylaws  contain no provision for online/electronic meetings and voting. So we are working on creating that type of system in real-time.

The California Democratic Party finally held its first training for conducting electronic meetings, including re-organizational meetings, on Saturday, June 6, two days before this posting.  The next update meeting will be Wednesday, June 10. 

In the meantime, a subcommittee of the SBCDCC Executive Committee has contacted several companies that provide online voting options, and has conducted “test mock elections” among members of the Exec. Committee. As soon as the subcommittee has a recommendation(s) for platforms to use, that recommendation will be discussed at a formal online meeting of the entire Executive Committee.  There are several options that look promising, and we’ll know more after Wednesday’s CDP training.

THE ONE THING OVER WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HAS NO CONTROL IS THE INDIVIDUAL MEMBER’S COMPLETION OF THE CREDENTIALING PROCESS.  The subcommittee is doing its job, but it is up to each member to do his/her part and send in their updated application plus pay their membership dues via ACT BLUE to ensure that we have complete and correct contact information and are paid up for every member.

Thank you for your patience and please send in your completed forms and pay dues on ACT BLUE.

Attention all Current, Returning, and Future SBCDCC members!

During this unprecedented Pandemic we have been thrust into, your Current Executive Board has been diligently working towards returning member and new member installation, with a manageable reorganization that works on behalf of all. We are mailing a letter, via US Postal Service, according to our By-Laws, to our SBCDCC returning, and new members. The letter describes a process that will engage all members. Please check your US Postal mail box and upon receipt, follow the instructions in the letter. If you have any questions or have not received the letter by end of May 30, please email or have someone email with your contact information at SBCDCCReorg@gmail.com. We will check your request against our list and resolve. Include your name, phone, address, and email (if applicable). Thank you for your patience in these tough times and stay safe!
