The BCDP Executive Committee is made up of one male District Representative and one female District Representative elected from each of the 10 Blount County commission districts. District Representatives represent Democrats within their district and participate in governing the Blount County Democratic Party (for more detail about what they do see their job description).

The Executive Committee meets on the second Thursday of every month. The meeting is open to the public. We welcome anyone who is interested in supporting the Democratic platform and participating in BCDP activities.
