JCDW North & South Endorsements
This WILL BE the year we BREAK the SUPER MAJORITY!
Johnson County Democratic Women North needs a treasurer and president! We have a hardworking board to support each other and we work very well together! Duties for the president consist mainly of coordinating the board members and coordinating with JCDW South, which also has an amazing board of dedicated workers! It can be low- tech if that’s what you want. The treasurer position consists of maintaining records of income and outflow of money, paying bills, and sending ethics reports to the state and national organizations.
Please let us know ASAP if you are interested in either of these positions so we can transition to new leadership. Contact Dawn Olney to see what it entails.
