Happy New Year!  Here's to a new chapter and a fresh start to empower each other and continue to advocate and protect our democracy. 
On behalf of the Davidson County Democratic Women (“DCDW”) Board of Directors, we are excited to increase engagement while fostering relationships with our new and current members.  The organization strives to encourage and stimulate women to participate in Democratic Party activities, run for public office, seek appointments on boards and commissions to help affect public policy, inform and educate women about civic/political matters and support the goals and nominees of the Democratic Party.  We welcome everyone, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or physical ability. 
On December 10, 2023, these members of the DCDW were approved by acclamation and sworn in by Judge Ana Escobar as the 2024 Board of Directors.
