This is often due to the lack of skilled leadership in campaigns. This training addresses this need and empowers you to make a difference. Ideal attendees for the Campaign Boot Camp are citizen activists who want to use their limited time more effectively in campaigns -- or in communicating their concerns about public policy. Are you interested in volunteering or working for a conservative candidate, cause, or issue at the local level? If so, then this is the class for you. Topics to include: • Developing & Communicating a Persuasive Message • Precinct Organization • Door-to-door Canvassing • Voter ID and Targeting • Building Coalitions • PR and Earned Media • “Feet to the Fire” – Grassroots Lobbying Speakers will be Chris Doss and others from the Leadership Institute. The Leadership Institute has many resources that will help you be successful in the Primary and General Elections. Don’t miss this training, which is available in your own back yard (so to speak)!
