Region Numbers

Santa Clara County was Region 43 of the Libertarian Party of California in the numbering system in which regions generally corresponded to counties.

Santa Clara County was Region 7 in the earlier numbering system.

Past Executive Committees

Notes:

The LP of Santa Clara County Executive Committee includes ten permanent "officer" positions: Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and the chairs of six standing committees defined in the bylaws: Activities, Campaigns, Fundraising, Membership, Newsletter, and Publicity. Other committee chairs may from time to time be given voting status on the Executive Committee by approval of the Central Committee. In addition, up until the early 2000s the county's representative on the state Executive Committee was also a member of the county Executive Committee. (After that time individual counties no longer had direct representation on the state Executive Committee.)

Partial terms are noted when known, but there may have been other mid-term resignations or appointments not documented here.
