The Coordinating Committee (CC) is a group of elected leaders in the DSA. CC is composed of four different officer positions and four member-at-large positions. The CC as a whole performs administrative tasks to keep the chapter running and makes decisions on behalf of the chapter when soliciting the membership’s voice democratically is infeasible. Each of the eight members have an equal vote in business matters.
For a more in depth look at the CC consider reading through the chapter bylaws.
