The DAPT Nominations and Elections Committee is kicking off the 2023 DAPT leadership elections process. Our leadership team is an engaged, dynamic, fun group who coordinates the many volunteers who help register voters, ensure Americans in Portugal vote in the US, and organize events. 

Interested in learning more about leading DAPT? Join us for a Sunday morning chat (bring your cup of coffee or tea!). The DAPT Nominations and Elections Committee will be hosting an online Information Session on February 12 at 11:00 am WET, so you can ask questions about becoming a candidate, nominating a member, and voting. 

In the Democrats Abroad Portugal leadership election, our members will elect multiple positions, including: Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Counsel, several At-Large Executive Committee Members, 1 DPCA Voting Representative, and 1 Alternate DPCA Voting Representative. The elections will take place in March and the results will be announced at our Annual General Meeting on March 22 at 7 pm.

DAN members can skate together at Frogner stadium. We have arranged for free entrance.  Rental skates are available and are free for children. Those that do not want to skate can drink hot toddy or cocoa and chat.

Meet DAN there, Sunday, February 12 at 13:00 - come and leave anytime!
