HDSA's NYA Membership Application
The HDSA NYA membership has grown significantly since its inception at the national convention in Orlando, Florida in 2000. 
 
At the beginning of 2008 the HDSA implemented several changes which  positively affected our youth community, more specifically the HDSA National Youth Alliance members. 
 
Since many previous members of the HDSA NYA do not use email and/or participate on the Yahoo NYA Message Board, the HDSA looked at ways to keep all of the members of our HD youth community better informed on activities or events which would be of interest to them, such as the annual HDSA NYA Convention Scholarship, NYA Day and other National or NYA Chapter planned activities and events.  In order to accomplish this, either through U.S. mail or eCommunication, it became necessary to establish a National NYA Roster at HDSA.
 
Since many of the current HDSA NYA membership information was outdated it also became necessary for everyone to submit an updated NYA Membership application.  This applied to both current members and any young adults who want to become a member of the HDSA NYA. 
 
Please see the next column for more information on the HDSA NYA Membership Application form.

The information provided by you in your HDSA NYA Membership application will be kept in the strictest confidence by the HDSA, the HDSA NYA Virtual Chapter Board Members and the NYA Adult Advisors. 
 
At the 2008 HDSA National Convention in Pittsburgh the members of the National Youth Alliance voted to become a official HDSA Chapter then voted a NYA Chapter Board of Directors. 
 
Your NYA Chapter Board of Directors is establishing their Plan of Work which will include their Goals and Objectives for Huntington's Disease advocacy, education and fundraising.  Their fund raising objectives will focus primarily on support to HDSA Research Projects and the NYA Convention Scholarship Fund
