Bill Clinton, New Hampshire state senator Maggie Hassan, Alex Goepfert of the Richardson for President Campaign, Sean Downey of the Dodd for President campaign, high school students from across the nation, friends, and future Democratic leaders of America made the 2007 YDA New Hampshire a success.
The YDA High School Caucus meeting last Sunday was the most engaging caucus meeting in recent history. Our speakers were informative and thought-provoking, and our meeting "business" was brief and efficient.
In the future, my goal is to greatly increase the number of high school participants, so more people can take part in this unique and progressive organization. Luckily, this goal will easily be achieved: the next YDA national convention is in Disneyland!
The YDA High School Caucus will begin planning for the next convention where we hope to have the largest high school student turnout yet. And how about a disney character lunch meeting? I can't wait.
Along with planning for the convention, the caucus will be focusing on its Regional Plan. The goal of Regional Plan is to reach out to high school students on the most local level. Our regional leaders will lead and execute the plan. The 8 regional directors will organize a high school outreach plan for all of the states in their region. They will work with the YDA State Presidents' Association (SPA) in devising plans. In the end, I hope to see a dramatic increase in YDA High School Caucus chapters/clubs at high schools across the country.
We will also be working on our Presidential Campaign Plan. This will be lead by our yet-to-be elected Director of Political Campaigns. He or she will work with the regional directors in order to get as many high school students as possible campaign experience. There has never been a more perfect time than now to work on a presidential campaign. And there has never been a stronger need for a Democratic president.
It's up to us fellow high school Dems. We've got the power and the will to lead this nation, even in our teenage years.
Let's get our Party started!
