Coming Spring 2009

This workshop is for anyone considering seeking public office, running for higher office or working on a campaign.

In 2007 the Carrie Chapman Catt Center received a grant from the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP) and partnered with the League of Women Voters of Ames to offer this one-day comprehensive, bi-partisan campaign training workshop for individuals who are already planning to run for office OR who are considering getting more involved with politics. Because of the success of this workshop, the Center has plans to host it again in 2009.

In this workshop you will learn about:

• Confronting stereotypes
• Putting together your campaign
• Raising money for campaigns
• Conquering the camera
• Crashing the parties

You will walk away with...

• “How to” instructions on running for office
• Real-world advice and best practices from experts
• Strategies for positioning yourself for public leadership
• Inspiration to launch a campaign
• A better understanding of Iowa politics
