Kevin Smith says he plans to expand the role of Secretary of the North Carolina Democratic Party beyond just distributing meeting minutes in a timely manner. Smith is one of two candidates running for the NCDP Secretary's office and says if he's elected he'll insure party members can access the party's voter activity database which has been "privy to only a select few"instead of "those on the ground who will utilize it to the fullest extent."
In addition to being the party's historian and bookkeeper of important documents on party activities, Smith says if he's elected, he "will concentrate on improving the current databases, which contain valuable information that can be better used if properly organized and maintained. Party members should have accurate and up-to-date databases when trying to connect with voters and volunteers. Too many elections have been hampered as a result of inaccurate information in an existing database."
"It is my hope that at the end, all information is on demand and as simple as a couple of keystrokes," according to Smith's email message to State Executive Committee members, the voting body of the NCDP.
Smith also addressed the concerns many have voiced about the lack of training opportunities on the VAN (Voter Activation Network) calling it "a cumbersome and discouraging process," as well as developing better network strategies for the Party to become more efficient at sending notifications.
NCDPpolitics proudly endorses Kevin Smith for NCDP Secretary. NCDP will hold its state party officers election on January 29, 2011 in Raleigh.
