Dean Myerson is a prominent member of the American Green Party.

He joined the Green Party in 1991 when he was living in Boulder, Colorado, and was active at the local level initially. He first attended a national gathering in 1995, and in 1997 was elected Secretary of the new Association of State Green Parties, a post which he held until December of 1999.

Myerson worked on the national campaign staff for Ralph Nader's 2000 presidential bid for most of 2000, filling various roles, such as liaison to the Green Party, overseeing petition drives in Kansas and Wyoming, and later coordinating the campaign in eight inter-mountain and plains states surrounding Colorado.

In 2001, the new Green Party of the United States hired him to work on their application to the Federal Election Commission for national committee status, which was achieved in August of 2001. In January of 2002, Myerson moved from Boulder to Washington, DC, to open and manage the new GPUS office there, where he served as national Political Coordinator.

He left that position in September of 2003 to take of the position of Executive Director of the Green Institute, a position he still holds.
