Team UNITY Survey
What Do You Want YDA to be?
One of the things which most defines Team
Unity is the core belief that YDA’s own members have the
clearest vision of the great potential and future within our
organization.
It is our members at the local level who
know best what it takes to succeed in their individual
communities. It is our members who can most rapidly identify
the needs of their chapters – and it is our membership as a
whole that can help meet those needs. We, the members of YDA,
are our own greatest resource, for when we share our talents and
vision freely with one another, the entire organization grows
stronger.
Today, we are asking you to share some of
your own visions for YDA. Please take a few minutes to share
your thoughts with us. It will be compiled and shared as
we approach YDA Convention.
Background:
1) How long have you been a member of the Young Democrats?
2) At which level would you say that you are the most active?
3) Have you attend a YDA national meeting
in the past?
| If Yes, 3a) Did you learn new
skills or information at the national meeting which
could be used by your state?
3b) What would you like to see/do at a future
national meeting? |
If No, 3a) What was the primary
reason for you not attending?
3b) What would you hope to do at a national
meeting?

General Activities:
Does your state or chapter do or have any
of the following?
Do you feel as though you receive
sufficient information from the YDA leadership about the goals
and activities of YDA as a whole?
Do you think the YDA leadership is
responsive to the needs and concerns of your chapter?
Electoral Activities:
1) During the last election cycle, YDA
concentrated the vast majority of its resources in five states.
If YDA continues with this model, what do you think the
selection process for targeted states should be?
2) How could YDA be more helpful to your
chapter’s efforts during campaign season?
Future of YDA:
Of the ideas below, which would you most
like to see in your state (please rank your priority for each
idea. If an idea does not interest you, do not rank it.)
- - A speaker exchange program (where chapters
help ID potential guest speakers traveling to a region where
another YD chapter exists, so that we can have an opportunity to
diversify the individuals who visit with our members)
- - A graphic design artist at YDA whose skills
could be made available to state/local chapters
- - A database of event ideas and reports that
can be used to recreate successful events in your area
- - Campaign training programs organized by YDA
- - Shared event calendars where chapters can
learn about events in neighboring states
- - National YDA Lobby Day(s)
- - National Legislative Action Alerts
- - YDA leadership helping to coordinate
meetings between local YDs and national level speakers visiting
their area.
Is there anything you would like to add to this list?
