Marc Stad '01, president of the Harvard College Democrats (HCD), won the presidency of the College Democrats of Massachusetts yesterday at the Leadership 2000 Convention hosted by the Kennedy School of Government.
Senator Edward M. Kennedy '54-56 was the keynote speaker at the convention, which drew members of College Democrats and Young Democrats from across the state to attend a full day of workshops.
Neil Carpenter, director of membership and outreach of Young Democrats of Massachusetts, called the Leadership 2000 convention the "best and biggest Young Democrats event in the history of the organization."
Stad noted that two-thirds of those at the convention were college students, indicating the progress that younger Democrats have made since last year.
He praised the high level of convention participation as encouraging evidence of young people's commitment to these issues, closing his speech with his appreciation.
