This leadership team makes up the Executive Committee which manages the national operations of the caucus. In addition, the Executive Committee can create other committees (for example, dedicated to membership, the bylaws, or communication) on which Executive Committee members and State Chairs are expected to serve. Committees are chaired by the caucus Vice-Chair, and the caucus Secretary acts as the secretary for each committee. Committees may also create subcommittees for specific purposes.
