About Boise DSA

Structure

The Boise DSA is composed of Members, Committees, Working Groups, 2 Co-Chairs, a Communications Facilitator, Membership Coordinator, Treasurer and 2 Harassment and Grievance Officers (HGOs).

The Coordinating Committee is made up of the 2 Co-Chairs, Communications Facilitator, Membership Coordinator and Treasurer, who are elected yearly at convention. Coordinating Committee meetings are twice per month, open to all members, but only the 5 elected officers of the committee can vote at these meetings. The Coordinating Committee meets to coordinate chapter events and other projects necessitated by the will of the chapter.

In addition to the officers serving on the Coordinating Committee, the Boise DSA has 2 Harassment and Grievance Officers (HGOs) elected for a one year term and tasked with investigating and resolving grievances against Boise DSA members.

Committees are long-standing, permanent groups whereas Working groups are created around a project and end when the project does. Both types of groups elect a chair responsible for reaching out, following up and and reporting to the Coordinating Committee. Both types of group are created by vote at the General Meeting.
