YAF @ CPAC 2019

Ever since YAF leaders Frank Donatelli and Ron Robinson established the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) with the American Conservative Union in 1974, Young America’s Foundation and Young Americans for Freedom have been highlighting the work of conservative students and exposing the tactics of leftists in higher education over the last 40+ years. At CPAC 2013, Young America’s Foundation’s President Ron Robinson was recognized by the American Conservative Union for his “foresight and fortitude in organizing” the first CPAC. At CPAC 2019, YAF will continue to build on this storied history of conservative action as YAF leaders and students will be featured prominently throughout this week’s conference.
