What Lessons Did We Learn From The Election? |
|
|
|
|
The DCDP wants your opinions, ideas, and suggestions for improving the probability for success in our 2012 General Election.
The party has a tradition of doing a "lessons learned" process at the end of each election cycle to determine what worked well and where are our opportunities for improvement. We consider negative or positive results from actions we took in that election cycle. The DCDP now invites you to help us with this process.
Tell us about what you liked, what you did not like and/or ideas for making what you liked even better. Send Phyllis Grover your emails to phyllis AT dallasdemocrats.org, no later than 4-19-11. Read more about helping in this process at this page. Thank you for your help and participation.
