The College Democrats had our Fall 2009 Kickoff meeting Tuesday, September 15th.
We had a packed room of over 140 people with fabulous speakers: Analiese Eicher (Chair of the College Democrats of Wisconsin); a video from Alderman Bryon Eagon; internship opportunities from the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, The Assembly Democratic Campaign Committee, the Wisconsin State Legislature, and Advancing Wisconsin; and State Representative Mark Pocan.
We also rolled out a brand new component to our organization: Caucuses. Caucuses are committees which focus on specific issues or campaigns in order to more effectively plan events, rallies, meetings, forums, etc. Caucuses will give our membership the opportunity to meet in smaller groups, hold leadership positions, and work on specific issues and campaigns. Our organization has added the following caucuses: LGBT Caucus, Multicultural Caucus, Women’s Caucus, Faith Caucus, and Issues Caucus. Members can be involved in as many caucuses as they choose.
The Kickoff was quite a successful event, if I do say so myself. If you unfortunately missed this fantastic evening, don’t fret. Stay tuned to our website for regular updates!
This is going to be a fabulous year for the College Democrats, so come join the fun!
