The Pennsylvania Center for Women, Politics, & Public Policy is excited
to once again offer the Winning Edge Campaign School January 19-21, 2007
in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Women's Campaign Fund, as part
of the national Ready to Run network. This is an in-depth training that
provides the opportunity to really see what it takes to run a successful
campaign. Whatever part of the state you live in, the time & travel
will be well worth it!
This unique training opportunity is ideal for both women interested in
running for office and those who want to focus on running political
campaigns…it teaches the skills needed to gain the Winning Edge.
Based on the simulation of an actual campaign, trainers guide
participants through the process of creating and implementing a
successful campaign strategy. Over two-and-a-half intensive days of
working in teams, participants learn how to build a strong campaign from
the ground up -- how to make the right decisions about message, handle
communication crises, manage criticism, raise money, and much, much
more.
Information on the training and a registration form are available at
http://www.chatham.edu/pcwppp but please act
soon as space is limited. The deadline to return the registration form
and $100 tuition fee is January 6, 2007.
Scholarship assistance is also available to assist with the tuition fee,
travel/lodging in Pittsburgh, and/or childcare costs. To apply for a
scholarship we must have your completed registration AND a scholarship
statement – budget outline (up to $500) & justification for your
request - by December 15th, 2006.
