TYD Chapter Resources

In the Resource section of this site you will find tips and information that will help you to start a chapter and keep it running smoothly, as well as links to  address commonly asked questions about voting and elections.   You'll find a Primer for Robert's Rules of Order and a Sample Constitution and Bylaws in Word format (for printing ease) by rolling your mouse over the Resources button above.

Special thanks to Scott Elson of the West Virginia Young Democrats and former YDA DNC Woman (2005-2007) Lauren B. Goode of the Ohio Young Democrats for their contributions to the original work that led to this revised copy.
