YDA’s Winter National Meeting will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana February 18-21, 2010. (Yep, that’s the week of Mardi Gras!)
While New Orleans is known for its great music, delicious food and good times, we as Young Democrats have an opportunity and an obligation to serve our fellow Americans in a city that needs us. This is why we need you to join us a day earlier than usual on Thursday, February 18 for YDA’s Day of Service.
Young Democrats from around the country will converge on New Orleans to work with local not-for-profit organizations and give back to a city that has given America so much. In addition to the Day of Service, sessions during the conference will focus on different kinds of service, from community service to military service, and how to build and strengthen your organization through service activities and actions.
Register to attend the YDA Winter National Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana!
The early registration fee of $45 has been extended until 11:59pm EST January 22th. General registration will be $65 and will end at 11:59pm EST February 17th, and on-site registration will be $75.00. However, registration fees will be waived for those who sign up and participate in Thursday’s community service project. You must sign up ahead of time and participate all day to qualify for the registration discount; lunch will be served.
Be sure to visit our website for registration, travel, and hotel information. We will be constantly updating the website with speakers and scheduling information, so be sure to check back often!
I invite you to join us as we learn, serve and play in the Big Easy!
See you in NOLA,
