The ‘more you invest’ in YIG, the ‘more you gain,’ governor says

By Ford Cleveland
2017 Youth Governor
Hello everyone. I’d like to welcome each of you to the 69th Alabama Youth Legislature Conference.

Ford Cleveland takes oath of office after being elected in 2016.

This weekend will be filled with opportunities for all of you. From hearing important political figures in Alabama speak, to being able to debate in the Alabama State House, and even participating in elections of our own, this conference allows everyone to participate and learn about all forms of government.

This conference offers so many amazing opportunities that unfortunately cannot be experienced in just one weekend; therefore, I encourage those of you who are fortunate enough to have a few more years in this program to try something new over the next year and maybe participate in something that you have never done before. Whether that be applying for Governor’s Cabinet, running for Supreme Court, or being a lobbyist, you truly cannot go wrong with any of these choices.
The more each of you invest in this conference, the more each of you will gain from this conference. I hope that each of enjoy your weekend as much as I will, and I cannot wait to see what this conference has in store for all of you.
Ford Cleveland is a 17-year-old senior at The Montgomery Academy. He is the son of Chip and Susannah Cleveland.
