John,

First of all, thank you so much to every single one of you for working so hard this year. Last week's election results were the result of all the time, energy, and effort you put in. AYDs were knocking, calling, texting for the last few months and it showed. We helped flip the House and defend the Senate and that's a big deal. 

Now as this year comes to a close, it is time to elect next year's Executive Board for what is the biggest YD chapter in Virginia. AYD E-Board elections are happening this Thursday! We'll be at Arlington Mill Community Center in Multi-purpose Room 527A+B starting at 6:30pm. The candidates are as follows and you can read candidate statements here.

• President - Bryant Atkins
• Vice President - Phebe Carlson and Bryan Coleman
• Treasurer - Phil Kattato
• Secretary - Samantha Perez
• Membership Director - Open seat
• Community Service - Rhea Simon, Ryan Gallagher, and Mike Coletti
• Campaign Director - McGlynn Cauchon
• Political Director - Austin Locke
• D&I - Mark Perlman
• Party Rep - Duncan Barron

You can read more about the elected and appointed positions in our constitution under Article IV: Officers.

In order to vote, you must be a dues-paying member. You can check your membership status with AYD Membership Director Daniel Gray at [email protected]. You can also pay your dues here.

And if you cannot make it to the meeting on Thursday -- apply for your absentee ballot by Wednesday at 11:59pm so that you can still vote!

We hope to see you on Thursday night at what is also the retirement party for some of us - including yours truly!
