2022 MHQ Proposal

Term of Service
From Labor Day, 2022 through Election Day in November 2022 (approx 10 weeks)
Volunteers will donate their vehicles and labor from Labor Day, 2022 through Election Day in November 2022. The donation has no monetary value for volunteers’ labor with it being a non-professional service.

Insurance (TBD)
Sally will research the insurance requirements. I propose that each deployment of a Mobile Headquarters be billed as a separate event sponsored by MCDCC. Given that a vehicle will be involved, what riders will be necessary to existing MCDCC insurance policies to cover property damage and liability to cover the volunteers’ person and property, and any damages or liability exposure to the MCDCC?

Drivers
There will be multiple vehicles and drivers over the course of the project, perhaps more than one at any given time.

Recipients
This donation of time and vehicle use is made to the IMDC with prorated benefit to the MCDCC, the Huffman , the Wood , the McGuire , the Newsom , the Padilla campaigns and other candidate or issue campaigns authorized by the IMDC or MCDCC.

Availability (TBD)
Weekly schedule will be published depending on volunteer location and availability

Promotion
The Mobile HQ will be featured in IMDC Monthly Newsletter from July-November.
The annual IMDC membership renewal letter will be mailed in July and, if approved, this Mobile HQ activity will be highlighted in the letter as a Club program for 2022.
The itinerary and announcements will be included in instant messaging, e-mail blasts, Facebook and on the website and PSAs as appropriate.
