About the San Francisco District 11 Democratic Club
The District 11 Democratic Club is an officially chartered Democratic Party organization in Supervisorial District 11, San Francisco City and County.
The Club hosts special events and activities including Civic Education Outreach, Membership Meetings, Endorsements, and other special events depending on the election calendar. In election years, we produce a Door Hanger Guide for Voters with voting information and a list of endorsements. We also produce a GOTV mailer with our endorsements. General Membership Meetings featuring discussions of topical issues are usually scheduled on the second Wednesday of February, April, September, and November. In addition, we schedule a Dinner & Auction on the first Friday of June and a Holiday Party on the first Sunday of December. Board Meetings are scheduled by special arrangement. The Club is administered by a Board of Directors; Club members, who wish to become more actively involved are invited to consider volunteer opportunities as a board member or chair.

OFFICERS
President: Rosario Cervantes, Excelsior, [email protected]

The President is the chief executive of the Club. The President shall preside at meetings of the general membership and of the Executive Board. The President is the official spokesperson for the Club. The President shall appoint all committee chairs. The President and the Treasurer shall confer on all financial matters. The president shall be the first delegate to all conventions, council meetings, and Democratic groups and organizations, and perform such other duties Rosario Cervantes is our current President and she has been active with SF District 11 Democratic Club for more than 10 years.

She believe in working together and organizing to find leaders that represent our values and to work on common goals such as being a leader in my field. She remaines engaged and focused to better improve life and working conditions for others. She is proud to work with the diverse group of women and men on the Executive Board. |
Vice President: Lisa-Anne Lee, Cayuga Terrace, vp@sfd11dems.com
 |
The Vice-President shall perform all duties delegated by the President. The Vice-President shall succeed and fulfill the unexpired term of the President in the event of the President’s resignation or incapacity to serve. When the President is temporarily unable to serve, the Vice-President shall assume the President’s duties until the President resumes duty. Lisa finds the political balance between purpose and influence challenging. As an organization, how do we codify our mission so we are not always having to redefine our values of equity, justice, and antiracism/antibias? At the same time how do we present our organization to broadly build unity as a coalition between diverse and sometimes antithetical interests? As it relates to endorsing candidates— how much time do we want to spend reading vaguely ambiguous statements rather than asking reality-based interview questions about their reputation, integrity, and principled commitments? How do we influence candidates during their candidacy and continue to hold them accountable after they have been elected? As it relates to endorsing policy— how much do we focus on single, reformist issues rather than the deeply endemic fascist construct of racism inherent in U.S.? I think this is a common dilemma with which progressive organizations constantly struggle. I think SF D11 Dems is a logical place to begin thinking globally and acting locally. |
