Students Attend National College Democrats Convention
August 1st, 2007The Tennessee delegation left for Columbia, S.C. via several carpools and a couple airports. For some of us it was an easy 4 to 5 hour drive, but for some it took more like 12 (driving from D.C.). By 1 p.m. everyone had arrived safely at the University of South Carolina (USC was the host site for the convention).
A few delegates arrived in S.C. in time to attend the CDA National Council meeting (the NC is similar to an executive committee or legislative body of some organizations) where Tennessee cast the tie-breaking vote in the NC elections. What is it with close elections and Tennessee being put on the spot?
There were a few other closed sessions that day for state federation officers and chapter presidents; I’ll not go into the mind-numbing details (you’re welcome).
