College Democrats of Missouri

The College Democrats of Missouri is the official organization of the Democratic Party of the United States for college and university students in Missouri.

Activities
The College Democrats' activities vary from chapter to chapter. Typical activities include inviting guest speakers (often elected officials or party activists), arranging for members of the club to work on campaigns, and organizing students for letter-writing campaigns or phone banks. Local clubs also organize voter registration drives.

Every year, the College Democrats of Missouri holds a statewide convention. Features of the convention include workshops on how to be effective in government and campaigning, as well as speakers from the Democratic party. In 2007 the group held a concert to raise money, called "Demstock."

Organization
The College Democrats of Missouri are run by an executive board, consisting of:
*President - Nate Kennedy
*Vice-President - Sam Hodge
*Secretary - Shelly Peavler
*Political Affairs Director - Mark Buhrmester
*Programs Director - Jimmy Lang

The function of the Executive Board is officially to "determine and implement the organization's goals"; its members are elected annually at the convention.
