Virginia Young Democrats Convention [[link removed]]
VAYD's convention will be hosted in the City of Alexandria during the weekend of April 8th to 10th, 2022. Our business will be conducted at The Westin Alexandria Old Town and virtually for the purposes of including Young Democrats across our great Commonwealth.
We are conducting this convention in a hybrid manner with a combination of virtual and in-person to ensure the health and safety of our members and our communities during the ongoing pandemic. Those attending in-person will be expected to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a documented exemption in order to participate. We highly encourage those not vaccinated against COVID-19 to participate virtually in this year's convention.
Full information including the schedule and registration, can be found on the Convention website. The deadline to register to attend the convention as a delegate is April 1 at 11:59 pm.
