The Miami-Dade County Republican Executive Committee (MDREC) is the governing body of the Republican Party of Miami-Dade County.  For purposes of the Republican Executive Committee, the county is divided into 40 districts with two Republican Executive Committeemen and two Committeewomen for each district. The idea behind a Republican Executive Committee member is that a person living within a district knows his/her neighbors, the issues that affect their community and is generally familiar with the area.  In essence, the committee member becomes the link between the county party and the voters in that district.  The goal of a committee member is to help grow and develop the Republican Party by effectively mobilizing Republican voters in that district, getting out the vote, disseminating the Republican message, helping to implement strategy in their community, making sure likeminded neighbors and friends are registered, and in turn, being that community's voice, eyes and ears in the Republican Executive Committee.

The committee meets at least 6 times per year, on a monthly basis.  The meetings follow Republican Party of Florida bylaws and adhere to Robert's Rules of Parliamentary Procedure.  During the meetings, the committee votes on various matters, adopts resolutions and recommendations, and during election season becomes the clearinghouse for information on issues and candidates, mobilization, organization, strategy implementation, outreach and other such matters of interest to active Republicans.

Every two years, the committee chooses its officers (Chairman, Vice Chairman, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary and Treasurer) from among its membership body.  The chairman presides over general and executive board meetings, is the ceremonial and executive head of the local county party and represents Miami-Dade County at the State Republican Executive Committee along with the State Committeeman and State Committeewoman, who are both elected by Republican voters at-large, countywide. 

Every four years the committee expires and a new one is sworn in after being elected by the Republican voters of the county by district. Any Republican duly registered in Miami-Dade County may run for the MDREC in his district every four years, and is chosen by the Republican voters of his district.  Should there be a committee vacancy in a district between elections, a Republican duly registered and living in that district may file to run for that vacancy and will be voted on by the existing committee members during a general meeting.
