YDWA Goes to LA for the Young Democrats of America Convention!

11536127_817590654977181_5663584000963917935_nThis August 14 Young Democrats of Washington joined our national affiliate in Los Angeles for the biannual Young Democrats of America national convention. This is a lot like our own convention each year – with trainings from industry leaders, an opportunity to shape the platform and contribute to the charter and bylaws, and to meet and form relationships with Young Democrats from near and far. Here are a few of the highlights from our trip:
