80 Million Strong Summit

Jul 14-15, 2009

Description:
80 Million Strong for Young American Jobs unites young Americans to own and direct their economic reality. To make our goal a reality, we are convening a summit in Washington, D.C. on July 14th and 15th, and WE ARE INVITING YOU TO PARTICIPATE. Apply today to attend!

The summit is an opportunity for diverse young leaders from across the country to collaborate on innovative ideas and policies to build an economy that reflects the strengths of the Millennial Generation. The key aspects of the summit will be large and small group discussions and policy sessions, where participants will work as a team to create, support, and improve each other’s ideas. Ultimately, the summit will conclude in a coherent, cohesive legislative and grassroots agenda for the coalition and its partners to actively pursue.

The summit will include a particular focus on creating opportunities in areas such as entrepreneurship, education, healthcare, energy, and national security. In order to supplement the group sessions, the summit will feature national leaders as keynote speakers, each focusing on a particular subject. Confirmed guests include former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, former Congressman Lee Hamilton, and Judy Woodruff of the Newshour.
