Howard Dean to speak at Liberal Democrat Spring Conference

Governor Howard DeanGovernor Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 2005 to 2009, will be the guest speaker at the Liberal Democrat Spring Conference in Harrogate, 6-8 March 2009.

Howard Dean was a frontrunner for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2004 when he spoke out against the Iraq war.

Howard set up Democracy for America which focuses on grassroots fundraising and training for local members.

As chairman of the Democrats Howard set up and executed the 50 State Strategy which targeted voters across the US, rather than concentrating on “swing” states. This became a vital part of President Obama’s campaign in the 2008 election.

Packed with policy debates, fringe events, training sessions and keynote speeches, interest in Spring Conference is greater than ever, but there’s still time to register.

    Could this, should this… persuade me to go to Conference for the first time since 1976?

    No.
