List of offices (Clearinghouse Coordinator is omitted for now, because of the intention expressed to split up the functions of this job and eliminate the position.) If keeping this as a single page gets too unwieldy, each position can become a page.

• Chair - Ken Mathenia
  

• Vice-chair/SCC Whip - Aimee Smith
  

• Vice-Chair/Committee Manager - Harley Mikkelson
  

• Treasurer - Randym Jones
  

• Recordkeeper - Art Myatt

Attend the state membership meeting (SMM) if possible. If it is not possible to attend, be sure someone can get the SMM materials to you. Make sure someone (designated as the scribe) is taking notes at the SMM. Gather samples of written proposals circulated at the meeting. When the meeting is over, get a copy of the raw notes from the scribe.

Using the notes and reference material, write up the minutes in the form of decisions reached at the meeting. Circulate the draft minutes on MigreensSCC and Migreensbiz Yahoo Groups for additions and corrections. When the minutes as revised are accepted by the SCC, save the file in ".pdf" format and send it to the GPMI web steward to be added to the MiGreens web site. The file, with supporting materials (raw notes, files of resolutions, etc.) should also be transferred to the appropriate folder in the "Files" sections of the MigreensSCC and Migreensbiz Yahoo Groups sites.

Repeat at the next SMM.

In addition, at a nominating convention, the record keeper is responsible for making sure the candidate forms are available and that a notary public is there to notarize forms where that is required by the state. Further the record keeper is responsible for assuring the delivery of forms to the Secretary of State or county clerk's office. This task may be delegated to volunteers.

• Locals Liaison - Eric Borregard

(Current bylaws regarding LL need to be struck; they pertain to a system that was never used - a locals polling function)

Without prejudice to the new LL and his plans for the position, the original purpose of the position is as follows:

The Locals Liaison oversees the state party's relationship with locals, nurturing startup locals and providing assistance to established locals (this intent was prior to a functioning SCC, which has reps from locals). The LL takes applications for local recognition, ensures that they are complete, and formally forwards to the SCC for disposition. The LL can and should seek to engender locals where there are none. To this end the LL is encouraged to set up a coordinator system for each county; the coordinators act as advance agents for the party, engendering interest through appealing to established groups, talking with the media, arranging events, and raising the profile of the party.

• Membership Secretary - Doug Baker
  

• Meeting Manager - Fred Vitale
  

• Elections Coordinator - John LaPietra
  

• National Representatives -

• Informal offices - may need to be added to bylaws

The first of these would be the newsletter editor. The quarterly newsletter has been an important public face for this party for years. The first editor that I remeber was Steve Herrick (with the tabloid-sized Amber Waves of Green). Then Linda Myatt (the magazine-sized AWOG) did the job for several years. Now Fred Vitale (with Green Light) has taken over the function. The editorship changes have been approved by discussion and consensus at SMMs, but the position has never been defined in bylaws.

The second is web site manager (aka webmaster in the usual designation, or web steward to use a term more in line with labor movement traditions) for the migreens.org web site. Various people have done this job over the years: Craig Harvey, Mary Anglin, Lou Novak, Doug Baker, and possibly others that i don't know about. This is another public face for the party, and an important one. If Newsletter Editor is to be added to the bylaws, then Web Steward should also be added.
