DEMOCRACY MUST BE LEARNED BY EACH GENERATION
Sunday April 6 – Tuesday April 8, 2025
This event was the cumulation of months of work by every one of its participants. All Cougar YAGgers were expected to attend and will receive a letter for doing so.
In total we had 21 delegates across 5 branches and had an additional adopted delegate. Although we only had 1 bill pass Legislative and Gov-Cab and no success in elected officer candidates it was a great experience and will be a good place to begin training more experienced delegates!

This Year's Conference On National Affairs will be substantially different than previous years. The normal host YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly was destroyed by a hurricane and thus CONA has been moved to a similar looking University in North Carolina. This location change doesn't change cost projections but does increase the number of legislative delegates New Mexico can bring from 24 to 26!!!

Attending at least one training is required by NMYAG to be eligible to attend the state conference. If you are unable to attend this training you may need to attend another regions or a online one. This training is a great place for candidates to begin to campaign.

President Ozdoba led a delegation of 5 to NMYAG's first event of the 2024-2025 school year. This delegation tied Santa Fe HS to be the largest delegation at Palooza!
Proposal Palooza was a event that aimed to introduce new delegations and delegates to the rough outline of how to write a bill and how to debate under NMYAG parliamentary procedure.
