Leadership Opportunity: Victory Fund Candidate and Campaign Training

July 1, 2015

July 1, 2015

Our partners at the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund have an exciting opportunity for those interested in learning more about effective political campaigns.

Later this month, Victory's Candidate & Campaign Training will take place in San Antonio, Texas. Here, up to 40 LGBT people will gather from July 30 to August 2 for three days of intensive training on how to build an effective political campaign and position themselves as future candidates or campaign staffers. They’ll leave with an understanding of campaign basics, from fundraising to field work, and messaging to mail programs. They’ll hear the inspirational stories of LGBT elected officials who are currently serving, and meet the leadership of state and national LGBT organizations who can help them with future political campaigns.

Alumni of Victory’s training programs, including Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and Congressman Jared Polis (D-CO), are among America’s most high-profile openly LGBT leaders.

If you can't make the training this summer in San Antonio, they are offering another one in November in Las Vegas. Click here to apply.
