Her career spans senior roles at the Department of Defense, U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Senate, and the United Nations.

Don´t just sit there, do something!

The Board of Directors of Democrats Abroad Panama sincerely appreciates your continued interest and support. We worked hard to make an impact in the 2024 election. While the outcome was not what we had hoped for, this is not a time to give up. Instead, we must move forward starting with the election of our new Board of Directors for the upcoming two-year term.
As outlined in our bylaws, the Chair will appoint selected members of Democrats Abroad Panama (DAP) to form a Nominations and Elections Committee (NEC). This committee will:
• Receive nominations for elected Officer positions, Members-at-Large, and Voting Representatives.
• Nominate members (with their consent) for any open position.
Serving on the NEC does not prevent you from being nominated or self-nominating for a position.
If you are interested in joining the NEC, please DM this site with the following information:
• Your name and current location in Panama.
• Your preferred contact details (phone/WhatsApp number and email address).
You must be a member of Democrats Abroad to participate. If you are not currently a member and would like to join, please click on the link and follow the instructions. ( https://www.democratsabroad.org/ )Selected NEC members will be notified by March 1, 2025, and an organizational meeting will be scheduled shortly afterward.
Thank you for your support and participation. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
Best regards,�
Tim Connelly�
Chair, Democrats Abroad Panama
