He has served as the Executive Vice President of the Virginia Young Democrats (VAYD), three terms as VAYD’s Secretary, and two terms as the Chair of the VAYD Teen Caucus.

Dusty Sabourin
| Associate Director of Parent Outreach

In 2013 Dusty joined a local meet-up for nonreligious parents in Spring, Texas; her experiences as both a member and organizer led her to recognize the urgent need for community building and representation among nonreligious families in the US. Following a move to Virginia, Dusty went on to become an American Atheists Assistant State Director, which she uses as a platform to promote secular family community, and increase awareness around issues important to all families, including improving student access to comprehensive sex education.

By combining her passion for community and social justice, she hopes to guide people toward a goal of increasing acceptance and inclusivity both within and on behalf of the nonreligious community--and beyond. In addition to her work with VACSER Dusty currently serves as American Atheists Assistant State Director for North Chesterfield, Virginia, organizer for Little Heathens of RVA, and a board member of Washington Area Secular Humanists.
