A message from NYD President Kyle Michaelis:
If you are a Nebraska Democrat between the ages of 13 and 35 (sorry, we had to draw the line somewhere), please join us on Saturday, April 4th for the 2009 Nebraska Young Democrats Convention hosted by the Creighton College Democrats in Omaha.
2009 NYD Convention
Saturday, April 4th
Harper Student Center, Creighton University
Registration begins at 9:30 am
Convention begins promptly at 10 am
Parking available at 20th Street & California.
This is an important convention for NYD and the Nebraska Democratic Party as each looks to the next generation of young leaders to carry us into the next decade. Special guests will be joining us, and we’ll even be devoting time to helping Omaha’s Democratic candidate for mayor days before the city’s primary election.
As previously announced, I will be stepping down as NYD president at the convention and look forward to helping our new leaders realize Young Democrats’ potential as a powerful force and a progressive voice in Nebraska politics.
The deadline for presidential nominations is this Thursday, April 2nd, at 10 am. Just send your nomination to convention@nebraskayoungdemocrats.org. We also encourage nominations for our other elected offices at this address, although they will be accepted from the convention! floor. Please see our Conventions 101 guide for more information.
The deadline for submitting amendments to the NYD Constitution is also Thursday, April 2nd at 10 am. Any proposed amendments should be sent to convention@nebraskayoungdemocrats.org. This is our one opportunity all year to change our organization’s guiding document, which can be read here. If there’s an issue you’re very passionate about, our members will also have the opportunity to propose and debate resolutions in the name of Young Democrats across the state.
I look forward to seeing you this Saturday at Creighton University.
Kyle Michaelis
President (for a few more days)
