2008 National Federation Democratic Women Convention

A delegation from the Democratic Women of New Mexico attended the 2007 National Federation Democratic Women Convention in Charleston, West Virginia. They prepared and presented a bid to host the 2008 NFDW Convention in New Mexico. The bid was accepted and the presentation was described as the best the NFDW Board had ever seen. The 2008 NFDW Convention will be held in Albuquerque May 28, 2008 to June 1, 2008. The host hotel will be the Sheraton Uptown and will be newly renovated for the convention. Details are presently being formulated and confirmed, they will be posted on this website as they become available.
