2009 WashCo Dems PCP Training Continues

  Are you a new or continuing PCP (Precinct Committee Person) and feeling a little bit lost?  Well help is on the way! The Training Committee regularly offers introductory and advanced training for PCPs. PCP 101 is basic training learning about your role and responsibilities as a PCP, your support systems and the organization of which you are a part. PCP 102 is the practical application of what you learned in basic 101.  PCP 101 is required before taking 102.

Pre-registration is required four days in advance of each class and all classes are held at the Washington County Democrats Beaverton Office.

  Precinct Committee Persons (PCPs) are the most important building block of the party.  Representing the Democratic Party in your precinct, you are the link between the voters in your neighborhood and the party, and the elected government officials in the party.  You are the key person to turn out the vote to elect Democrats.

As PCPs we’re always working on elections.  Now is the time to build relationships in your community in preparation for special elections and the 2010 primary and general elections.  PCP training offered by fellow experienced Washington County Democrats can help prepare you for this important work.
