At Noon on Sunday, May 1, Wake County Superior Court Judge Michael Morgan administered the oath of office to myself and the other members of the 2011-2012 Executive Board of the Young Democrats of North Carolina. I am humbled to serve as the 68th President of our organization, and I am honored to serve with my fellow board members.

Front Row: National Committeewoman Montica Talmadge, NCDP Chair David Parker, National Committeeman Andy Ball.
Second Row: Secretary Rick Ingram, President Sam Spencer
Third Row: Treasurer John R. R. Owens, Vice President Sharron Bryant

I am pleased to report that we got to work immediately. The YDNC Executive Committee convened at 12:45 PM on Sunday to conduct the business of the organization. At the meeting, we appointed Committee Chairs and Congressional District Chairs, and continued a planning process that will enable Democratic Victories in 2011 and 2012.

We have a lot of work ahead of us, but the year ahead looks brighter with these talented individuals stepping up to serve the Young Democrats of North Carolina.

I also wanted to take a second to thank everyone on BlueNC who has supported myself or YDNC over the years. We're not going anywhere, and we're counting on you to continue to be a strong online voice for progress in North Carolina. I sincerely hope you’ll join us in being a part of this exciting year for Democrats.

Cheers,

Sam Spencer
President, Young Democrats of North Carolina
