What does the Executive Board do? The Executive Board implements and executes the policies of the Central Committee, pursuant to DPSC Bylaws and our Transparency Policy. How are the members of the Executive Board chosen? Each January after a statewide general election at the beginning of each two-year term of the Central Committee, our county party holds an organizational meeting. At this meeting, any eligible voting member may run to be elected by the members of the Central Committee to serve as an officer of the Executive Board. These officers have specific areas of responsibility and, together, oversee the management of our county party. No person elected to public office may serve on the Executive Board.
