G. Ryan Sandoval spoke
about “How You Can be the Next Democratic Leader” and what the
Riverside Central Committee does. He talked about the 2010 plan and the
Riverside Democratic Party Adjenda and what each of us can do, such as:
be on an outreach committee, or the communication committee; and he
discussed the openings in the next election which are in need of
candidates. He announced a training meeting on May 30 run by DFA. There
was discussion of the place where meetings are held. Our members
suggested that since 25% of the 64th AD voter registration
is in the valley, an alternating schedule of one fourth of the meetings
should be held here so our members would be able to attend more easily.
Ryan said that he would pass the suggestion on to the rest of the AD
membership.
Meeting was adjourned at 11:00
