Platform

As Clerk, and subsequently as Speaker, I would like to focus on reconnecting the policy and programming branches of the YLD. Although our Assembly bylaws allow for committees of the YLD, as well as Council, to bring or speak to resolutions before the Assembly (including minority reports), this does not commonly occur. I would like to encourage committees to both sponsor and take positions on resolutions before assembly, as well as create an opportunity for committee chairs to engage the Assembly by way of special presentation. I would do this by reaching out to committee chairs early on in the resolution team’s consideration of resolution ideas for calendaring, creating an opportunity for committee input and evaluation.

I would also like to continue previous speakers’ efforts to reach out to state affiliates to ensure that they are aware of the seats that they can fill in the Assembly, and the work that the Assembly does. I believe that there is a great deal of potential for the Clerk to work with District Representatives to improve this communications flow
