TFCD Holds Successful 2005 Fall Summit
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nashville – On Saturday, November 12th, 2006, student leaders from across the state assembled in Nashville for the 2005 Fall Summit of the Tennessee Federation of College Democrats. The Summit was successful in helping to organize chapters and in the development of the TFCD’s statewide strategy for the upcoming 2006 elections.
"The College Democrats are making unbelievable headway across the state’s campuses, showing that the Democratic Party is working for students now more than ever," said Bob Tuke, TNDP Party Chairman. "College students know that the Democratic Party put the HOPE Scholarship on the table, making college a reality for many young Tennesseans."
The Summit was held at the Tennessee Democratic Party Headquarters in Nashville, where more than 50 college students were present, representing over 14 colleges and universities from across the state. Those who attended participated in breakout sessions on a variety of issues, including: crafting the message, membership recruitment, fundraising, and campus activities.
“The amount of interest the TFCD received for this summit, the largest one in history, is a clear indication that the younger members of the party are more concerned than ever about the burden the Republicans are leaving on our backs,” said Alex Youn, TFCD Vice President. “College Democrats are informed, alive and kicking.”
