YDA Awards Committee Accepting Nominations

Posted by rsnyder on July 6, 2011 Comments Off

Know a chapter in your state that has an incredible ongoing program?  Or does your state hold an annual event that just knocks everybody’s socks off?  What about that YD who is always ready to volunteer with a smile on their face?

Now is the time to embarrass them on a national stage!

During the convention in Louisville, YDA will recognize individuals, state organizations, chapters or caucuses who are model Young Democrats!

Please take a few minutes to nominate an individual or organization within your state for national recognition.  This is an opportunity to highlight somebody that the national organization doesn’t know yet or a project that can be done across the country.

Nominations are due to info@yda2011.org by Saturday, July 23.

If you have any questions, e-mail Awards Committee Chair Sarah Holstine at smarksh@yahoo.com.
