For the record; There is no Head of Outreach for the Democratic Party
Yes, there has been some sloppy reporting about this in some press (when has that ever happened before?) but that is no reason for us to continually get it wrong on DU.
The Democratic Party has no head of Outreach, period. The DNC does sometimes have people heading up outreach efforts to designated target communities, and those positions are subject to change. After a quick search I found references to the DNC appointing people to lead religious outreach, and to head up outreach to the Jewish community specifically. Also heads of outreach to the LGBT community, and the Latino community and no doubt many other demographic slices also - I only spent a few minutes looking. I strongly suspect that the National Democratic Party would define the DC Chair as their overall "Head of Outreach". If that position were to exist separately I would think it should be a full time one, with a fully staffed office to back it up. Maybe we do need that. Maybe Tom Perez will set that up.
Some here have repeatedly been saying that Bernie Sanders is the Head of Outreach for the Democratic Party. Nope he is not. Not even remotely close
This year Chuck Schumer decided to expand the number of Senators who have positions on the Democratic Senate Caucus leadership team. It is traditional for members of Congressional leadership teams for either party in either chamber to all be given "Titles". Sander got one too. Below is coverage of Nancy Pelosi expanding the House Democratic caucus. Her reasons for doing so the way she did were specific to her situation. Schumer added Sanders on the Senate side at the same time as he added Joe Manchin and several others.
Dems expand leadership team

"House Democrats on Monday expanded their leadership team, promoting a handful of junior lawmakers to newly created positions in an effort to boost the influence of greener members..."
So this is how Schumer did so on the Senate side:
Schumer Expands Leadership Team
http://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/charles-e-schumer-minority-leader
"...Whether there would be a contest for the role of whip (which has officially been assistant Democratic leader) remained a bit of a mystery. And Schumer has figured out how to split the baby.
Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin of Illinois will see that informal title become official, while Washington’s Patty Murray will slide into a No. 3 role of assistant leader. That avoids what could have been a fractious fight between Durbin and Murray.
Schumer is creating an expanded leadership team with 10 members, including senators from a variety of different states and representing ideological diversity within the caucus. A senior Democratic aide said they would all be invited to leadership meetings...
There are a variety of new or elevated roles, all elected by acclimation. Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, for instance, will be outreach chairman."
If you read the full piece you can find the other new leadership positions Schumer "created" to expand his leadership team - if you are curious Manchin is now Democratic Policy and Communications Committee Vice Chairman.
Actually when Schumer created a title for Sanders, again he did so by finding a way to "split the baby" as referenced above with Dubin and Murray, as reported on by USA Today at the time:
"Sanders position is a new one, representing half of the "Steering and Outreach Committee" now chaired by Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota. Klobuchar will chair the steering committee next Congress."
So it appears that before Sanders was falsely called the "Head of Outreach for the Democratic Party" this year, Klobuchar could have been (but wasn't) falsely called the Head of Outreach for the Democratic Party last year. Who knew?
Beyond the first few leadership posts in the Senate Democratic Caucus- the ones that actually get "ranked" and identified as the number two and number three leadership posts, the actual titles are not particularly meaningful, everyone needs one so everyone gets one. There is no such thing as being a mere "member" of the Caucus leadership team.
So, to summarize, Bernie Sanders is not a Democratic Party member so yes, it would be odd for him to be the Head of Outreach for the Democratic Party - but he isn't. However Sanders is a member of the Senate Democratic Caucus and his new role pertains to the activities of that 48 person body only - to the extent that his title is meant to carry any specific responsibilities beyond attending Senate Caucus leadership meetings and providing input to that team. Like everyone else on Schumer's leadership team, Bernie Sanders has a day job. He is not tasked with individually taking on the rebuilding of the Democratic Party.

Get in touch with your local Democratic Committee person, I'm sure s/he can hook you up. With your help, Victory is Ours! 
I hope that I could be of service to the electorate in such a position. i don't suffer fools or BS gladly and I have a real contempt for corruption having been a victim of it most of my life. I think there's a rally today for my one Congressional House rep whom I've met twice now. I asked him for a job, maybe something will click. I have to go into town today so I think I'll contact someone from the party.
ETA: I am desperate for a job, after I pay the rent next week, I'll be penniless with outstanding bills.
