Democrats Abroad Germany 2026 Annual General Meeting

You are invited to the 2026 Democrats Abroad Germany

Annual General Meeting

 

Friday, February 6

Everyone is welcome to arrive in Berlin on Friday afternoon. We will have an informal gathering to allow members to already start to meet (to be announced later).

Saturday, February 7 - DA Germany Annual General Meeting

The main meeting will take place on Saturday at the Jugendherberge Ostkreuz. It will be a hybrid event, so that as many members of DA Germany can participate and contribute to developing our plan of action for getting out the vote in 2026.

This meeting will be focused on looking ahead and what we want to focus on in the coming years. We will address the questions: What should be our priorities? What are our members most concerned about? What does “resistance” mean? This meeting will be an opportunity to have open discussions and help shape DA Germany. 

That evening, join us for dinner, to continue meeting members from across all DA Germany chapters.

Sunday, February 8 - DA Germany Executive Committee Meeting

Members of the Germany Executive Committee (ExCom) will meet for a leadership meeting.

Anyone not on the ExCom will have the chance to go on a tour or other activity (to be announced). Following those activities, everyone is welcome to meet at a local restaurant for lunch before heading back home.
