DFA Training in Springfield, IL

Agenda:

Date: September 29th & 30th
Time: 9:00am-6:00pm

You made the phone calls, you knocked on the doors and this past November you began to take our country back from the right wing. While many people are thinking about taking a rest after our victories in 2006, we know that you are not. Neither are President Bush and his right wing allies. That is why we are excited to announce that the DFA Training Academy is coming to Springfield, Illinois on September 29th-30th for an comprehensive two day campaign training.

The 2008 Presidential race is already beginning to take shape. You and I both know that the grassroots are more than just a passive audience in this race. The DFA Training Academy will prepare you to become an asset to whichever candidate you end up supporting.

This past November Democrats across the country were successful in races from the U.S. Senate to local city councils. Whether you are an old hand or new to politics, the DFA Training Academy has something for you.

At the DFA Training Academy, experienced campaign professionals will cover practical strategies and tactics including communications, fundraising, voter targeting, online organizing, and building a sustainable grassroots movement. We design the program so you can go out and use the skills you learn right away. Then, we follow up with you to make sure you have the support you need to organize your community.

A limited number of sponsorships are available!
