Building for the Future

Hey everybody,

This is Fordham University-Rose Hill College Democrats incoming VP Kevin Price. I wanted to welcome you all to our new blog and just share a few thoughts about where I see this going.

First, I'd like to extend a resounding thank you to outgoing President Matt Cashman. He has really brought this organization a long way in his time at the helm and shepherded us through what was a challenging but incredible election season. Fordham Democrats worked at all levels to help bring change to America and usher in a new progressive era. This organization worked at all levels to achieve victory, from President Barack Obama to state and local leaders. His continued involvement and guidance as President Emeritus will be invaluable.

Under the leadership of incoming President Ryan Pierannunzi, the new Executive Board will look to continue this work, as well as addressing some specifics that we can focus on now that the campaign season is over (as brief as that break may be).
At the forefront of the objectives will be our mission to build this organization and its presence on the Fordham campus.

There will be several tools that help us achieve this goal. One will be this blog, which we hope will be come a forum through which we can establish a dialogue with our members, the Fordham community, and our entire base of supporters. We will also be looking to keep bringing exciting events and personalities to campus, which we look to improve upon under the auspices of new Treasurer Nina Bamberg and Marketing Director Nora Walsh-Devries. In the future, we hope to work together to reach out to you, our members, in both new and traditional ways.

The most important resource we have in continuing this movement, however, is not the tools we will employ or the leadership we aim to provide. It will be YOU, the people of the Fordham community who know that to take our campus, city, state, nation, and world forward, we must not rest. Our recent success is not an end, it is a beginning to the work we will continue to do in order to bring about a better tomorrow.

Best Wishes,

Kevin Price
