Campaign Training

Just passing along an e-mail I got to anyone who may be interested:



We are pleased
to announce the  Pennsylvania Democratic Party's Campaign Camp training
program! 2006 saw tremendous gains for the Democratic Party at both the
state and national level. To build on these successes, we must begin
laying the groundwork now for this year's local and judicial elections
and the 2008 presidential election to ensure that we maintain control
of the state house, win back seats in the state senate, and ultimately
take back the presidency.


            


We hope you can join us for the 2.5-day campaign training, which will be held over the weekend of  March 23-25 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Camp participants are encouraged to sign up for one of the following training tracks:


            
  • Campaign Management for Campaign Staff- If
    you are currently working on a campaign or are interested in becoming
    staff on a campaign within two years, then join this track.  You will
    learn the fundamentals of political campaign management such as
    fundraising, field organizing, media relations, volunteer coordination,
    get-out-the-vote, targeting, candidate relations, and campaign
    technology.


  • Campaign Organizing for Local & County Party Leaders -
    This track is designed to give you and your election team the modern
    management fundamentals necessary to be successful at the grassroots
    level. Topics will include: voter contact programs; budgeting;
    planning; recruitment; volunteer coordinating; event fundraising;
    earned media; and creating a local party plan. You will learn the basic
    skills that are essential to putting your candidate or local committee
    in the best position to win.


  • How to be a Better Candidate - The
    candidate track prepares participants for a run at elected office.
    Participants will have the opportunity to be mentored by elected
    officials and some of the top political professionals in the country.
