PD welcomes new co-chair Mary Anglim

PD welcomes Mary Anglim as co-chair. Brenda Konkel recently stepped down so she could focus more of her time on policy work. Brenda is still very active with Progressive Dane and we thank for her years of committed service as co-chair.

Mary Anglim has served as PD treasurer for more than ten years. She grew up in Chicago and moved to Madison in 1971 to teach French history. She recently retired after 29 years of state service as a policy analyst, library paraprofessional, and teacher. She has been active in neighborhood associations and her AFSCME local and has been a member of the PD steering committee off and on for several years. Her goal for PD is to make sure that it sets an example of democratic
operation.

"For me, the most important thing about PD is its emphasis on open processes. Over the years, PD's leaders have struggled to realize that value. We want our members to be able to see how the party's decisions are made, and to participate in making them. Good process isn't easy, because every lesson in our culture pushes the other way--toward fast and marketable decisions by a few. It's something that we have to reinvent almost daily."
