Please take notice that the Flamingo Democrats will hold a membership meeting at 3 PM on Saturday February 15, 2025 to elect officers for 2025-2026. The meeting will be hybrid, with in person attendance to be welcomed at Catalonia House, at the United Church of Christ, 3010 DeSoto Blvd. Coral Gables FL 33134, with participation by Zoom available for those who prefer not to attend personally. Officers to be elected are: President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and an at large Board Member. There will also be a vote on modernization of the bylaws of the Flamingos, which have not been substantively updated since 2019. In this year in which we expect anti-LGBTQ+ attacks from both Tallahassee and Washington DC, your activism and membership have never been more important - and to attend the membership meeting, run or participate in the elections you must be a member of the organization. You can join at the Flamingo Democrats. Dues for the year are only $30.00, and your participation has never been more important. https://www.flamingodems.org/become_a_member  

The Flamingo Democrats announce that elections will be held at a General Membership Meeting of the Flamingo Democrats to be held, pursuant to the Bylaws, on February 13, 2025, the second Thursday of the month. The location of the meeting will be provided by e-mail to all members in good standing as of December 30, 2024, which is 45 days prior to the election. The positions include: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and three at large Directors. The officers shall be elected by open ballot to serve for one year or until their successors are elected, and their term of office shall begin at the close of the annual meeting at which they are elected. The current President, Kristen Browde, who assumed office upon the departure of the former President, who moved outside Miami-Dade, has indicated that she does not intend to seek a full term as President. To place your name into nomination or to express interest for any position, please contact [email protected]. A general membership meeting will be held in January to allow those seeking office to address the membership, and to allow nominations from the floor. The Bylaws state that no member shall hold more than one elected office at a time. The President and the Vice President shall be of opposite genders, and shall be elected together as a ticket. The gender of the persons involved will be by self-determination. The Executive Officers of the Organization (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) shall be limited to two (2) consecutive terms only. Any Democrat registered to vote in Miami-Dade County supportive of the objectives of the Caucus, who wishes to participate actively in the Organization, and who pays dues as specified by the Board shall be a member. To be eligible to vote, participate in elections, and be a candidate, a Member must have been a Member by the forty-fifth day prior to the February meeting and maintain membership through the date of this meeting.
