How can I join the Committee?
To become an Elected Member of the Democratic Town Committee you must be elected, either as part of our slate on the Presidential Primary Ballot (every four years) or by members to fill vacancies. Elected members are expected to attend meetings and participate in helping get Democratic candidates elected to local, state, and federal office. Only elected members may vote on matters coming before the committee.
What is an Associate Member?
An Associate Member is someone who wishes to join the committee during the four year period between Presidential Primaries. Associate Members are encouraged to attend meetings and participate in all activities and discussions. While Associate Members do not vote on motions that come before the committee, they are valued members. If there is an opening on the committee, Associate Members will be given primary consideration to fill that vacancy.
The process to become an Associate Member of the Democratic Town Committee is outlined in our Committee Bylaws under Article XVI: Associate Members.
What is a Lifetime Member?
A Lifetime Member is any person who has served for 20 or more consecutive years on the committee. They are “grandfathered” into the committee and not count against the 35 member quota.
Can only members attend a meeting?
No. The Billerica Democratic Town Committee meetings and socials are open to all interested parties. However you must be a registered Democrat in Billerica to be a member. We strongly encourage all registered voters to attend, especially Democrats. Elected Democratic officials frequently attend the meetings. The committee usually meets via Zoom on or around the second Tuesday of a meeting month. There will be times, however, that we may need to change the date, time, or venue. If this happens we will make every effort to notify the public in advance. You can find more information regarding our meetings and events on our calendar.
