Family tree refreshes constituency association

The federal Liberal Vancouver-Quadra constituency association seems to have placed a priority of family values. Last Thursday, at the Kerrisdale Community Centre, association members acclaimed a new executive. As expected, Vancouver-Quadra candidate Joyce Murray's campaign chair Eugene Hodgson took over from Craig Munroe as president. Ms. Murray's husband Dirk Brinkman is now the association's policy chair. And husband and wife team Demitri and Jessica Douzenis were named organization chair and secretary, respectively. The following is a list of the senir members of that executive, which includes Catherine Evans. Ms. Evans ran against Ms. Murray during Vancouver-Quadra's recent nomination race.

President Eugene Hodgson

Vice-president Catherine Evans

Communications chair Rikia Saddy

Fundraising chair Dean Crawford

Membership chair Condrad Copeland

Organization chair Demitri Douzenis

Policy chair Dirk Brinkman

Secretary Jessica Douzenis

Treasurer Doug Eakins

I am curious to know what the attendance was at this meeting, and to what degree any of these executive elections were actually contested, as opposed to people being acclaimed.

I attended the meeting and there was 40 to 50 people in the room.

While I remain suspect regarding the motvations for the rest of the executive, I'm thrilled to see Jessica and Demitri Douzenis on the executive. They are true liberals that don't get caught up in the politics of politics.

So, about 40 to 50 people. Not bad, but about what you'd expect at most riding association AGMs. A bit below what you'd expect for an upper income urban riding that supposed to be on the hold or win list for the party in question.

Dirk Brinkman, the candidate's husband, is "Policy Chair"?

Nice work if you can get it.

What next, Bubba (Baba O'Brinkman?), as "Musical Director"?

Good call on Douzenis (and his wife). Principled and reasonable, politics stop when the battle is done...more than I can say for a couple of the others.....

wow, lotsa Kennedy people on that executive. Maybe that's why Gerard is doing a $200 per ticket fundraiser for Joyce in June.
