Why Pachyderms?
This is the best place to begin your local involvement in local and state politics. We offer an educational platform that makes our members better voters.
We are not the County Central Committee, whose official function is to assist political candidates.
We are not a political action committee (PAC). Our only revenue is the modest annual membership fee which is used to publish the monthly newsletter. We do not have fund raising events and we do not contribute to candidates. Our bylaws prohibit us from taking a stance on political issues and candidates. We do offer a different program at every meeting. Our program chairs work hard to schedule forums for candidates and presentations from community leaders. You are guaranteed to learn more by attending these meetings than you would from the general media.
Many of our members also participate in the Missoula County Republican Central Committee. It includes those who wish to run for an office or work in campaigns or become Precinct Captains for their neighborhoods. That’s where politics gets down to the brass tacks…direct involvement at the grassroots level!
The beauty of Pachyderm membership is that you can participate as much or as little as your comfort zone allows. Our members look forward to the Friday lunches, camaraderie with like minds and exiting programs!
