I'm an intern over at the DNC and have helped develop our Meetup program with Sam Arora. (I used to help do Dean meetups in CT until I came down to DC for college. I've also posted stuff promoting Meetup on the KA blog, my name is Seth Tanner).
Believe me, we're doing our best to help get everyone involved. Meetups are new to everyone, and we're trying hard to help get meetup program going. Its my hope that Meetups will help people fill in positions at the state and local levels since there is soooo much energy out there, and allow new people to get involved with the party.
Tomorrow we're going to be showing party leaders in town for the Unity Dinner how to help you all get involved and active in the Democratic party. Earlier today I was creating a photo album from meetup photos that were sent in previously that will make its way into some very high level meetings with party leaders. Tomorrow evening at the Unity Dinner we will be showing people who send in the photos at our Unity Dinner, that will have over 2300 party leaders. If you can please come to the meetups tonight and send in the photos to Sam at meetup@dnc.org, that would be fantastic. You can also see our Meetup splash page at www.democrats.org/meetup.
Also, if you can post some meetup stories in here, I'm going to help take questions from party leaders regarding meetup and I want some good stories to tell them about meetup.
PS. I know that I have been flamed alot for some posts I did earlier. I want to be clear that I was speaking on behalf of myself, not the opinions of any other DNC staffer or the DNC itself. They are my opinions so flame me, not the DNC or its employees.
