July 8, 2015

As leaders of state-based organizations, you probably have conducted, or will conduct, a ballot measure campaign. These campaigns can be the key to achieving policy wins in your state, so you want to make sure you're successful, right? 

Our partners at the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center (BISC) and Wellstone Action have teamed up to provide some great trainings and webinars to help you achieve success during your next campaign.

In 2013, they created a first-of-its-kind training program focused exclusively on ballot measures. Today, they just opened up the application process for the second run of this amazing training - a 3-day, hands-on, interactive training for ballot-measure practitioners in Cleveland, Ohio this October!  Click here to learn more

And between now and October, BISC and Wellstone Action will continue their training webinars to ensure that everyone gets access to the tools and best practices they need right now. You can register for them individually, or sign up here to save by registering for all three at a discounted rate.
