I just got back from the Young Democrats of America meeting in New Orleans and am pumped for this weekend’s convention. Everybody I spoke to, from the YDA Executive Board to Regional Directors and other State Presidents were amazed by the agenda for this weekend and the progress YDM has made over the last year. Leaders across Maryland are noticing our progress as well, and we will be joined by the likes of Lt. Governor Anthony Brown, Attorney General Doug Gansler, Comptroller Peter Franchot and many more.

You can REGISTER FOR THE 2010 YDM CONVENTION HERE

Find all the information on the convention including the full agenda and registration info on our website. In addition, we have prepared a short video to prepare you for what we expect to be one of our greatest conventions ever.

I am counting down the days until Friday evening when the Convention kicks off and I look forward to seeing you all there!
