Delegate responsibilities
Party delegates elected at neighborhood caucuses and mass meetings are expected to:
- serve for a term of two years;
- attend a county convention, a state convention, or both;
- fulfill any commitments they made to caucus attendees regarding how they would vote;
- vote on which candidates will represent the party in the general election;
- elect county and/or state party officers (odd-numbered years);
- help decide what is contained in the county and/or state party platform.
If you are elected as a delegate, BE A DELEGATE. Read the political mail you receive and carefully decide which candidates to support. Supporting candidates who support public schools is one of the most important ways that you can influence education policy in the state.
Make sure to attend the entire convention. Many important decisions are made in the final hours.
