Hi everyone,
I just wanted to remind you that bids to host the 2009 VAYD Convention are due Sept. 26th. This deadline is quickly approaching, so don't forget to get your bid together if you are considering this tremendous opportunity!
Here is the Call for Bids that was sent out last month:
"The Virginia Young Democrats requests bids to host its 2009 Annual Convention. A site selection committee comprised of Brittany Morrison (Chair), Bree Raum, Sean Holihan, Trent Armitage, David McKinney, and Antione Green will review bids, visit potential host sites, and make a recommendation to the Executive Committee at its October meeting.
Bids are due to bcmorris@vt.edu by Friday, Sept.26, 2008 at 5pm. Please submit your bid as an attached Microsoft Word document, Adobe PDF, or Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation, unless you make other arrangements with Brittany. No particular layout is required, but please review the detailed questions below for advice on what to include in your bid.
Bids are traditionally submitted by individual clubs, or by a partnership of multiple clubs, although any organization can submit a bid. Hosting a convention is an enormously challenging and rewarding undertaking. It requires a tremendous amount of time, teamwork, logistics, and fundraising, but it can also result in significant exposure and profit for the host and its community.
We want as many quality bids as possible so please start discussing and/or working on this with your organization as soon as possible. Feel free to contact Brittany if you have any questions or need assistance prior to the deadline: bcmorris@vt.edu"
Please contact Brittany if you need more information about what to include in your bid or if you have any other questions!
