A chair is something one sits in.
A Vice Chair is a chair where one commits vice.
It was a mistake to go down the path of non-gender specific speech. The practice has muddled the meanings of words and occluded our American writing.
Dickie Cranwell is our DPVA Chairman and I can never bring myself to refer to such a patriot as a piece of furniture;such as chair.
Another point: As each of these citizens step forward and seek a leadership role, they should be able to say what they have done to help the two candidates who are carrying the Democratic banner in the 37th and 8th District Special Elections.

If just five people from each county committee volunteered to make calls for these candidates from their homes (many of us have unlimited calling plans so distance is irrelevant) we could get thousands of voters contacted and motivated to go to the polls and to vote on Tuesday, January 12th.
Sorry JTB, but your splitting of hair regarding chair is incorrect:
chair (châr)
n.
1. A piece of furniture consisting of a seat, legs, back, and often arms, designed to accommodate one person.
2. A seat of office, authority, or dignity, such as that of a bishop.
3.
a. An office or position of authority, such as a professorship.
b. A person who holds an office or a position of authority, such as one who presides over a meeting or administers a department of instruction at a college; a chairperson.
4. The position of a player in an orchestra.
5. Slang The electric chair.
6. A seat carried about on poles; a sedan chair.
7. Any of several devices that serve to support or secure, such as a metal block that supports and holds railroad track in position.
tr.v. chaired, chair·ing, chairs
1. To install in a position of authority, especially as a presiding officer.
2. To preside over as chairperson: chair a meeting.
And your point about making calls is valid indeed. Will the campaigns you've referenced provide potential callers with list and script?
I'm curious if these individuals ACTUALLY INTEND TO WORK for the party and it's ideals,or are they just going to fill an empty seat and go through the motions with no direction or will?
Are you intending to involve yourself Johnny Reb?
Nope. I'm a closet Dem. I believe that there are many different roles to play and mine is supporting The Party from outside the organized groups. I have no desire to be more involved.
BUT I DO EXPECT those people who seek executive positions in the committees to actually lead. If they aren't willing then they need to be like me, on the outside looking in, not stroking their egos at the expense of another lost election cycle.
I have no use for "closet" people.
You're right though, it takes many different puzzle pieces to come together to make a complete picture.
And you're right as well that those who seek leadership positions should in fact be willing and dedicated and capable.
I have no use for false ego either. Life is too short for such...
