The Obama campaign has made the historic decision to create 10 international field director (FD) positions to increase awareness of and support for Barack Obama as the next American president and to increase voter registration overseas. The FD for North Asia is responsible for Japan, South Korea, Beijing and Shanghai, and Hong Kong. Former chair of DAJ, Terri MacMillan has been hired to fill this post aaaaand... she has hired me as Deputy FD for North Asia!!!!!!! WOOOOO-HOOOO!!!!
I'll be taking care of a lot of the administrative and research stuff for the region as well as traveling around Japan to make more in-person connections, get people motivated about the campaign, answer questions about our candidate, and get people registered to vote for Obama.
Many, many thanks to Terri MacMillan and Lauren Shannon (current DAJ Chair) for bringing me on board for this amazing and historic experience, and all the advice, training, and opportunities they've provided that got me ready to take on this incredible responsibility.
yay!
