Statewide Trainings for the KDP Reorganization & Conventions
Beginning March 3, the Kentucky Democratic Party is conducting training and orientation sessions across the Commonwealth for the upcoming 2008 Party Reorganization & Conventions.
 
From the election of Precinct Leaders to the election of our State Central Executive Committee as well as the selection of Delegates to the National Convention, these trainings are designed to familiarize Democrats on the steps necessary to become more involved in the Kentucky Democratic Party.
 
Trainings are free and open to the public, and we encourage ALL Democrats to attend and help the KDP Turn Kentucky Blue in 2008.

Download our Reorganization Manual (PDF, 728k) that helps guide you through the process.
