The Stonewall Democrats of Dallas operates under a Bylaws structure. Our Bylaws express in written form the structure and processes that we follow as an organization which are derived primarily from Roberts Rules of Order.
Stonewall Democrats of Dallas has an executive body consisting of four elected officers: President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. These elected officers are charged with the day-to-day governance of the organization with support from standing and ad-hoc committees. The Officers are elected by direct vote of the General Membership yearly or in the event of a vacancy between elections, appointed by the President, and then ratified by a majority vote of the Executive Board. The term of office is for 1 calendar year, however any officer may be re-elected for multiple terms. The President is empowered with the day to day running of the organization and nominates each Ad-Hoc member of the Executive Board, and nominates the Chairs of all Standing and Ad-Hoc Committees. The President also serves as the Chief Communicator of the organization.
All members who are in good standing (dues current) at least 30 days prior to an Endorsement Committee meeting or Officer election are eligible to vote on all matters which are brought before the Membership at-large.
