Howard Dean, who was Chairman of the Democratic National Committee during President Obama's election campaign, has agreed to be our guest speaker at the Liberal Democrat Spring conference in Harrogate, 6 - 8 March 2009.

Howard Dean was a frontrunner in 2004 for the Democratic Presidential nomination, when he spoke out so inspiringly against the Iraq war.

As well as a reforming Governor of Vermont, Howard is an advocate of community politics and was a pioneer in internet campaigning and grassroots fundraising.

If you haven't booked already, it's not too late to join Nick Clegg and Howard Dean in Harrogate on 6 - 8 March. Visit www.libdems.org.uk/conference for more information.
