Whether you’ve never thought about running for office, are just curious, or have a burning desire to take the next step in your career, come to our webinar to get an under-the-hood look at what it takes to run! You might be surprised at how much the skills from managing a fair housing nonprofit or running community youth programs translate into serving as a city council member, planning commissioner, or even congress person! Get practical guidance from groups that support emerging candidates with everything from fundraising and campaign finance laws to building a support team.

Tl;Dr:

  • Local nonprofit leaders possess skills to be great elected leaders
  • Many of the positions available aren’t well publicized and therefore end up being filled by the same people who have been running and in office for years, sometimes even generations
  • Elected leadership should share commonalities with the people they are representing. Nonprofit leaders are more likely to be representative of the communities they serve every day
