The Chair of Democrats Abroad Switzerland is pleased to announce that the Zurich Chapter 2017 Annual General Meeting will take place on Saturday, May 20, in Zurich. During the meeting, the 2017-2019 Zurich Chapter Committee will be elected. We hope that you will attend to show your support for the nominees and to vote for the candidates of your choice.
Agenda
DA Switzerland is made up of volunteers working together to keep Americans living abroad informed and connected with the political process and to make it easier to vote from abroad. We invite you to become involved in Zurich chapter activities and political activism. We are expecting a very exciting and busy next term, resisting the Republican administration in 2017 and voting in mid-term elections in 2018. Come help us elect Democrats!
The Zurich Chapter offices:
- Chair
- Vice-Chair
