The purpose of our political organization is:
"To uphold the blessings of liberty, equality, and justice
on which the Republican Party and the government are founded,
in accordance with the
Constitution of the United States and the
State of Florida.
"
The purpose and responsibility of the Executive Committee is to:
- Promote the Republican Party at a local level through community outreach efforts
- Inform the electorate through political education
- Secure and encourage qualified candidates for public office
- Increase our membership in the Republican Party
- Support, encourage, and coordinate Republican organizations in Volusia County
Duties of Executive Committeeman / Committeewoman are:
As a leader of the Republican Party, a member of the REC has certain
duties. The Volusia REC meets once a month. The first meeting following the
primary election is the organizational meeting when the REC Chairman and other officers are elected.
At a minimum, a precinct REC Member should:
- Attend all REC meetings, participate in sub-committee
meetings as appropriate and perform all statutory and by-law duties (e.g. filling vacancies in elected county offices).
- Maintain a precinct organization and advise the Chairman of potential projects and concerns of voters in the precinct.
- Assist, as appropriate, in fundraising activities. Although a County Finance Committee raises money for the County REC and
its candidates, there may be times when a REC Member’s assistance is sought. Whether it is attending the Lincoln Day Dinner,
summer picnic or fall rally, all the projects planned and work done by the Finance Committee will be of little value unless
events are supported by the ― party regulars.
- Encourage poll workers, precinct captains and all registered Republicans in
the precinct to participate in Republican activities… such as the county organization,
local GOP clubs—Florida Federation of Republican Women, Young Republicans, etc. Participate in voter
registration events, phone banks, volunteer recruitment efforts, door-to-door,
and work with RPOF Regional Field Coordinator on other activities and events.
- Show support and enthusiasm for the Party and encourage Republicans in precincts to become active on a year-round basis.
