National Democratic Training – March 15, 2024

This is your opportunity to learn the fundamentals of running a campaign, complete with expert guidance, downloadable resources, and a collaborative environment with fellow local Democrats running for office.

Join us for our very first Candidate Bootcamp of 2024, where we'll dive deep into Campaign Fundamentals and the building blocks you need to kickstart your journey to victory. Get ready for a day filled with expert guidance, handy downloadable resources, and a supportive community of fellow local Democrats.

This virtual bootcamp streamlines four essential training sessions into one power-packed day, making it easier than ever to gain the skills you need to succeed. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to level up your campaign game – secure your spot today and get ready to make waves in the political arena!

NDTC Expert Q&A: Women Working to Win
Thursday, March 21 at 1 pm ET

NDTC is bringing together three accomplished women from different corners of progressive politics to illuminate their experiences on the trail and beyond.

Be part of the conversation as our panelists delve into the pivotal intersections of gender, policy, and power, challenging and reshaping traditional political narratives.

Building Equity-Centered Volunteer Teams
Friday, March 22 at 1pm ET

When working with volunteers who are already sacrificing their time and energy to further campaign efforts, it’s essential that managers and leaders prioritize equity and inclusion.

Discover strategies to create both inclusive and effective volunteer teams that reflect the diversity of your community. Our trainer will explore practical approaches to recruit, train, and retain volunteers while prioritizing these essential considerations.

Developing Your Campaign's Core Message
Monday, March 25 at 1pm ET

Crafting a compelling core message is fundamental to capturing voters’ attention and building support for your campaign. Join us as we delve into the art of developing a persuasive and authentic core message that resonates with your target audience.
