The 2007 YDA National Convention was our biggest in years.  Roughly 1,000 Young Democrats from around the nation gathered in Dallas for trainings, speakers, officer elections, and a whole bunch of celebrating as we looked back on our recent successes and reflected on the last 75 years.

This page has some video, photos, and a recap of which officers were elected so you can relive the convention (if you were there) or see what you missed (if you couldn't make it).
