Retooling, Reorganizing, Recruiting!

The Officers and Board of OTMDems are working on a number of projects to make our organization stronger and more effective as we enter the 2012 election season. As ADP Chair Judge Mark Kennedy pointed out in a recent meeting with us, our group not only serves an important role in our communities here by organizing local Democrats and getting them involved, but also by serving as a role model for other Democratic groups in Alabama. So, whether it's improving our internal operations like membership management and a new and improved website, or organizing our public activities like our issues-oriented programs or candidate forums or voter calling parties, we are regularly reviewing and working on lots of interesting projects.
