Dialogue Committee
First point of contact for community issues. We investigate, confront agencies and businesses, and execute the membership's collective decisions.
Our Role
The Dialogue Committee is the action arm of United For Growth at both the City Chapter and Central Committee levels. We do not make policy—we execute the collective will of the membership.
What We Do
- Investigate – Gather facts from community complaints
- Confront – Demand agencies, institutions, and businesses cease & desist harmful actions
- Report – Submit findings + suggested actions to local chapter leadership
- Execute – After members reach consensus, deliver that stance publicly to the opposing party and media
Key Distinction
Before consensus: Investigators confront targets, but NO public statements are made.
After consensus: The PR & Suggestions Lead becomes the authorized public voice to news media, CEOs, and institutional presidents, stating exactly what the membership decided.
Committee Structure
Each City Chapter Dialogue Committee has 7 members (can start with 5 if needed).
| Position | # | Key Responsibilities |
|---|---|---|
| Chair | 1 | Leads meetings, assigns cases, signs final reports to local leadership |
| Vice-Chair | 1 | Assists Chair, leads investigations when Chair is conflicted |
| Advisor | 1 | Strategic guidance (non-voting, not a local chapter officer) |
| Secretary | 1 | Documents findings, writes formal reports for local leadership |
| Investigators | 3 | Confront targets in pairs, gather evidence, demand cease & desist |
| PR & Suggestions Lead | 1 | Public face after consensus: contacts media, CEOs, institutional presidents; drafts suggested actions |
Central Committee Dialogue Committee: 5 members, handles multi-city or national issues, archives local reports, and offers strategic support to chapters.
How We Operate
Before Consensus Decision
- Investigators confront the target and demand cease & desist
- Committee reports findings + suggested actions to local chapter leadership
- No public statements are made during this phase
After Consensus Decision
- PR & Suggestions Lead becomes authorized public voice
- They contact news media, CEOs, or institutional presidents with the membership's decision
- Rest of committee continues direct confrontation with the target
Local Chapter vs. Central Committee
City Chapter Level
Handles local issues. Investigates & confronts local agencies/businesses. Reports to local chapter leadership (President, VP, Advisor, Secretary, Treasurer).
Membership decides → Dialogue Committee executes → PR Lead speaks publicly
Central Committee Level
Archives all local reports, offers support/suggestions, handles multi-city or national issues. Central Dialogue Committee also has a PR Lead for national media.
Coordinates across chapters and handles issues that affect multiple cities
Public Statements (by PR & Suggestions Lead)
After membership consensus, the PR Lead speaks exactly what was decided — no personal opinions, only the collective will.
“After a full vote of the [City Name] chapter, we are initiating a boycott of [Business Name] unless they restore wages by Friday. This is not a recommendation — it is the demand of 200+ members.”
“Our membership has authorized a protest at [Agency Name] on [Date]. We invite media to cover the community’s response to their continued violations.”
