• Whose party is this, anyway?• Youth as the key driver• Recruiting based on ideas, skills and diversity;
not connections or $$$• It’s about the future• Young Liberals have a strong record of
achievement

3. Organizing for Action
• Policy advocacy = a campaign• Use social media, develop a media strategy• Be inclusive• Build a team, find allies and contact Councillors,
MPPs, MPs and Senators• Out work the competition• Keep up the momentum• Take a professional, yet youthful approach• When’s the next election?
