Fellow Young Democrats- 

Don’t forget! You have until the end of the day today to register for the YDA Winter meeting in Arlington, VA in order to pay the Early Bird rate of $50 before it goes up to $60 tomorrow! 

 

We are incredibly excited to have you all here in Virginia and we are working to put on a great event for you with a wide variety of opportunities for trainings and to hear from guest speakers. Right now, we have confirmed that we will be joined by Congressman Don Beyer, Democratic Party of Virginia Chair Susan Swecker, former Speaker of the House Eileen Filler-Corn, State Senator Ghazala Hashmi, and a whole host of other folks who can’t wait to speak with Young Democrats from all over the country.

 

Our planning team has been working overtime to make sure that y’all get the most out of this experience and what Virginia has to offer: from training on organizing in Rural communities to learning more about our fight to repeal Right to Work laws to talking about running and  legislating as a Young Democrat all of with our Virginia Young Dems who do that every day. We are going to make every minute count here in the Commonwealth of Virginia between December 1 - December 3. 

 

 

Remember to get ready for the meeting with these 3 steps: 

 

  1. Register! We need you to register right now if you have not already done so. Our current rate for pre-registration is $50 but will go up to $60 tomorrow and  $75 if you register on site. You also need to register BEFORE NOVEMBER 17 IF YOU WISH TO HAVE A PRINTED CREDENTIAL. REGISTER HERE 

 

  1. Make sure your travel is accounted for. As we get closer to this meeting, travel could prove to be more difficult to book so the sooner you get yours sorted out the better.

    1. If by plane: our Closest Airports are DCA (accessible by Metro to the Hotel, 1 Stop Away on the Blue or Yellow Line ) and Dulles (now accessible by Metro to the Hotel, Silver Line to Blue Line) 

    2. If by train: Closest Amtrak Station is Union Station Downtown 

    3. If by car: Parking is available at the hotel for guests. 

 

  1. Book your room in our room block. We have asked the hotel to set aside rooms for our members and if you are traveling to Arlington from out of town, we are requesting you book through our room block site. This is a refundable, reduced rate that has meals, wifi, and other amenities all accounted for in the cost. Please book your rooms here. 



We are so excited to see you in December! Please check yda.org/ydanova for more information, and feel free to reach out to [email protected] if you have any questions. 

 

 

Democratically yours,

Matt Royer
