Communications
Daniella Weinberg, daniella.w822@gmail.com
The subcommittee is responsible for preparing and distributing content for all of DCLMN’s communications channels, including our Facebook page, website, email marketing, and media relations. We also assist other DCLMN committees and subcommittees with their communication needs. For example, we prepare promotional materials for and help publicize our annual Spring Dinner, and we support the committee's GOTV efforts. We invite people with an interest in writing, social media, and communications strategy to get involved.
Voter Registration
Phyllis Rubin, rubinph@verizon.net, 610-639-1498
This subcommittee is responsible for mailings, and in-person or phone contact, to unregistered voters in Lower Merion and Narberth. This includes the preparation of mailings to new resident homeowners. The committee often works with other groups to set up voter registration tables at supermarkets or at community events. Outreach to renters is a challenge that needs to be addressed. The committee also identifies groups that may need absentee ballots (e.g, students and seniors) and prepares mailings targeting them with applications. The committee then follows up with phone calls or in person contact to get the voters to send in their applications, and then later their ballots.
Issues and Policies
Adrian Seltzer, cre8ov@gmail.com, 610-308-9386
The subcommittee is responsible for investigating and reporting to the Committee on issues of public concern, and assisting the Committee in developing policy positions on such issues. During odd-year elections, the committee develops and administers the forums where candidates appear before the body to discuss positions and answer questions prior to a vote for endorsement. The committee is also working with Fundraising on a speaker series.
Fundraising
