A Clean Sweep by The Progressive Ticket

With our DAA Vice-Chair of the Americas, Joe Green, certifying the results of the vote at our first Annual General Meeting of the membership today... myself, Deby Novitz, Marta Motta, Frank Almeida, and Matthew Johnson, the candidates of The Progressive Ticket, swept all five of the offices on DAA's Executive Committee.

So many people worked so hard on this campaign that it would be impossible to thank everyone without my slighting someone. To all of you, please accept my undying gratitude.

Certain individuals did, however, serve in an official capacity during this process. Those individuals deserve the thanks and appreciation of every member. They are, as follows:

Beatrice Murch, Nominations Committee
Diana Aiello, Nominations Committee

Alicia Blumencweig, Vote Counting Committee
Sarah Johnson, Vote Counting Committee

My gratitude extends to our loyal opposition in this election, Eric Alvino, Elissa Hambrect, Beth Cushman, and Cate Kelly.

I pledge myself to faithfully representing all of their supporters as your National Chairman as well as continuing my efforts to make DAA agressively representative of every Democrat in Argentina.

Now that the Executive Committee is duly constitued by all members of The Progressive Ticket, we can look forward to a 2 year term of cooperation. We were a self-selected group already dedicated to working toward the advancement of Democrats Abroad Argentina, not an amalgam of disparate interests... and now are all elected by as many of our members that could navigate the voting process.

Under 19.2, 19.3, 19.4, 19.5, and 19.6 of our bylaws, I call for meetings of the Executive Committee at 678 San Martín on the first and third Thursday of every month, except for Argentine national holidays, at 6pm for a one-hour meeting, the minutes of which will be posted as audio for all to hear.

As your Chairman, I will always insist upon meetings of the Executive Committee in public places and insist that they are open to all members with due notice to all of the time and date.

I will never support holding meetings of Democrats Abroad Argentina in private homes.

My thankfulness and gratitude to all who made this happen.

I hope to see you all this Thursday.

Yours in art and labor,
Yanqui Mike
Chairman,
