Latino Youth Could Decide the Nation's Future
Register OnlineOver half of all Latino votes cast in the 2008 presidential primaries came from Latino youth, and the Latino youth vote could prove decisive in the November 4 General Election. Our 2008 Northwest Hispanic Student Leadership Conference (NHSLC) will celebrate the importance of the Latino youth vote, offer leadership skills development workshops, and include exhibitors interested in recruiting Latino youth. 
  
Representatives of the campaigns of Barack Obama and John McCain are expected to address the NHSLC on October 18 in Boise. Participants will be urged to make a final push in the remaining days before the election to help get-out-the-vote.
