CDM Ba-ROCKS, Hill-BLAZES, and Edward-IZES CDA Convention!
Columbia, South Carolina -- The College Democrats of Massachusetts (CDM) attended the 2007 College Democrats of America Annual Convention hosted by the University of South Carolina last week. CDM arrived at the convention with 13 delegates from 10 different Massachusetts schools, which garnered a total of 38 electoral votes for the organization, making it the third largest delegation in the country.
While visiting South Carolina, the College Democrats of Massachusetts helped to elect one of their own, CDM Finance Director Kyle Schulberg (Stonehill ’08), to the position of Director of Development for the College Democrats of America. Schulberg, who has previously served CDM as Legislative Director and South Shore Regional Director, also founded a chapter of College Democrats at Stonehill College.
CDM President Melissa Roberts (Boston College ’09) stated: “We’re all very proud of Kyle Schulberg- he’s one of the most hard-working and dedicated individuals that I know. We look forward to his continuing Massachusetts’ strong tradition of presence on the CDA Executive Board, along with CDA President Lauren Wolfe, a Smith alumna.”
CDM’s large delegation to the convention also participated in the multitude of activities and trainings offered at convention, learning strategies for membership recruitment, fundraising, and outreach through “new media” such as Facebook, YouTube, and podcasts.
Roberts stated: “We were pleased to receive training on how to reach out to students using new media. We have a Facebook group, and we plan to release a CDM podcast in the near future. It’s important that we keep developing new ways of reaching out to students in an increasingly technology-dependent society.”
Additionally, the delegation heard from each of the three leading Democratic presidential hopefuls – Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards – during the four day gathering. Individually, eachgave a rousing speech that energized supporters and helped build momentum for their primary runs. Collectively, the candidates radiated optimism for the future of our country.
Over the coming year, CDM plans to use the new strategies delegates discussed at the convention to charter new chapters and raise levels of public awareness and civic engagement in students across the state.
