Republican Party of Broward County

BROWARD REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

What is the BREC?  How do I join?

               To put it simply, the Broward Republican Executive Committee (BREC) is the governing body of the    Republican Party of Broward County.  Because counties are divided into precincts for purposes of elections and voting, the BREC membership is made up of one man and woman from each precinct, otherwise known as Precinct Committeeman and Precinct Committeewoman.  If a precinct exceeds 1000 voters, then that precinct is entitled to two Precinct Committeemen and Committeewomen (one man and woman for every 1000 voters).  The idea of a Precinct Committee member is that a person living within a precinct knows his/her neighbors, the issues that affect that community and is familiar with the area.  In essence, the precinct committee member becomes the liaison between the county party and the voters in that precinct.  The goal of a committee member is to be able to effectively mobilize Republican voters in that precinct, get out the vote, disseminate the Republican message, implement the strategy there, make sure neighbors and friends are registered, and in turn, be your community's voice in the Republican Executive Committee.

               The committee meets at least 6 times per year, on a monthly basis.  During the meetings, the committee votes on various matters, adopts resolutions and recommendations, and during election season becomes the center for information on issues and candidates, mobilization, organization, strategy implementation, outreach and other such matters of interest to active Republicans.

               Every two years, the BREC membership chooses its Executive Board (Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer) from among its membership body.  Every four years the committee expires and a new one is sworn in after being elected by the Republican voters of the county. Any eligible registered Republican may choose to run for the BREC for his/her precinct every four years, and is voted onto the BREC by the Republican voters of his/her precinct.  If there is a vacancy in one's precinct between elections, one may choose to join the BREC by filling said vacancy (additional information on joining the BREC below).
