National Democratic Training – January 19, 2023

Posted on January 19, 2023

Hey there — We’re two weeks into 2023 and bringing you another week of live trainings on the topics your campaigns and local parties need now!

First up on Thursday, January 19 at 1pm: NDTC Expert Q&A: Back to Basics.

NDTC Expert Q&As are designed with you in mind. That is, we want to get your burning questions answered. Join NDTC’s very own Kelly Dietrich and three Democratic experts in their fields as they review the fundamentals of campaigning. From developing a plan to outlining fundraising goals, this is the perfect on-ramp for your 2023 campaigns.

RSVP NOW–>

Then on later that evening at 6pm ET, join us for So You Want to Run for Office.

Running for office is better with a team. That’s why we’re teaming up with our partners at Run for Something to bring you an amazing So You Want to Run for Office training!

Our expert trainer will walk you through everything you need to make this big decision, from laying out a game plan to sharing the news with your network.

RSVP NOW–>

Finally, don’t miss What is a Democratic Precinct Chair? on Friday, January 20 at 1pm ET.

Local leaders are the backbone of non-electoral organizing. 2023 is going to be a big year for local Democratic parties across the country, and a precinct chair is a key member of that infrastructure!

Learn how to engage your local precinct chair, and how they can be a key ally in ensuring Democrats can reach voters well ahead of Election Day.
