FCDCC removes two members for non-attendance

Two members of the Fresno County Democratic Central Committee were removed from membership for lack of attendance, pursuant to our Bylaws.

The two members — Jim Avalos of District 4, and Anna Ray of District 1 — violated the FCDCC’s attendance policy as stated in our Bylaws during the month of February 2016, with each individual missing more than the allowable number of meetings over the last term year, and with neither having an alternate attend in their place as stipulated in our Bylaws.
