ELECTION RESULTS
Thanks to everyone who voted in the election! We're happy to announce that Morgan G will be Internal Coordinator, Morgan M will be Communications Coordinator and Brian M will be treasurer. Super grateful to you three for your leadership! Also, we're still looking to fill a few non elected roles (essential for the functioning of the organization and support of our leadership). If you haven't yet had a chance then please take a look at
these roles and
email us to let us know which one you'd like to fill (we can have multiple people for each one). We'll be announcing who is in each of these positions soon!

100K RECRUITMENT DRIVE
DSA's 100K Recruitment Drive began on October 1st, and we are happy to report that 2,523 members have joined our mass organization since then. Our Miami Chapter has added 4 new members so far, bringing us 16.7% of the way to our Chapter recruitment goal of about 25 new members. I believe that we will not only reach our goal, but surpass it. In order to do this however, we need YOU to
sign the 100k pledge and generate your
unique referral link to pass on to at least 3 of your friends, family, & coworkers.
The first 500 members to reach the pledge goal of 3 new members get a custom DSA hat, and the top recruiter in the Chapter will get a special prize selected by the Coordinating Committee!
It is crucial that every single one of our members sign the pledge and actively try to recruit at least 3 people in their network so we can increase our organizational capacity moving forward as we continue to build power in Miami-Dade County. Also be sure to invite all those who you speak to about joining DSA to our
new membership orientation which will take place on
Sunday, October 18th at 1pm so we can formally introduce them to the chapter and the work we are doing.
