My PBC Democratic Party
The Democratic Party of Palm Beach County is committed to promoting Democratic Party ideals and principles; coordinating Democratic Party activities in Palm Beach County; recruiting and electing qualified Democratic candidates for public office; developing an effective grassroots organization to carry out Democratic activities; and raising the funds necessary to complete these objectives.
Democratic Executive Committee (DEC)
The Democratic Executive Committee (also known as the DEC) is the governing body of the Democratic Party of Palm Beach County. The DEC is a working organization, composed of Precinct Captains from each of PBC's 767 Precincts, plus At-Large Democratic representatives who comprise no more than 10% of total membership. Members of the DEC (also known as Committeemen / Committeewomen) represent the registered Democrats who live in their Precincts and serve as the Party's liaison to their Precincts and other Democrats.
The DEC is the component of the Democratic Party of Palm Beach County which elects the Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer of the Party. Members of the DEC also approve the Party's constitution, rules, policies & procedures, and budget, and actively work on various standing and ad-hoc committees that carry out the Party's objectives.
The DEC is the basis for Democratic Party grassroots activities and our overall team effort throughout Palm Beach County to elect Democrats at every level of government. The Party relies on DEC Members to organize their Precincts and help find volunteers within the Precincts to support our grassroots efforts. The DEC also supports the organization of Democratic Clubs throughout Palm Beach County (of which there currently are 27) to further promote Democratic grassroots activities.
