Youth Vote Panel (Friday, Mar 28 – 1 PM)
The youth movement is increasingly important as young voters continually show their potential to create decisive margins in elections.

Join Jane Fleming Kleeb, Executive Director of Young Voter Pac and former Executive Director of the Young Democrats of America for a panel discussion with other national youth vote leaders to discuss campaign strategies for capturing the energy of today’s youth and maximizing young voter turnout for the 2008 election and beyond.
