Learn How to Develop Advocacy Campaigns

Jul 8th, 2010 | By | Category: Advocacy
Join your fellow bicycle advocates from around Ohio and adjoining states in the Columbus Winning Campaigns Training August 6-8.
 
This workshop presented by the Alliance for Biking and Walking teaches  the principles of developing advocacy campaigns. 
 
Who:  Presented by the Alliance for Biking and Walking (facilitators Ron Milam and Jeremy Grandstaff) and hosted by Consider Biking and Bike, Walk Ohio!  
What: Winning Campaigns Training: 
  • Campaigns — big and small, short and long — are the lifeblood of every advocacy organization.
  • Campaigns effect change, whether in policy or culture or in the built environment (bike plans and bike lanes).
  • Campaigns mobilize grass roots cyclists to get involved, making an organization politically powerful.
  • Campaigns help raise the profile of your organization in your community.
  • Campaigns get people to become members and to contribute to your organization.  
We all need to learn how to run campaigns more effectively.  
For more info about the training read the description on the Alliance website here: http://peoplepoweredmovement.org/site/index.php/site/memberservices/winning_campaigns_training  
When: Friday, Saturday, Sunday August 6, 7 and 8: Friday 1:00 to 5:00 pm; Saturday 9:30 to 5:00 pm; Sunday 12:30 to 4:30 pm.  
Where: Center of Science and Industry (COSI) in Downtown Columbus on the banks of the Scioto River (see the fabulous Scioto Mile taking shape): COSI is currently the home of the Titanic exhibit!  
How: The registration fee is only $75 (for Alliance members who register early through July 6th) for the entire weekend (some scholarships will be available: stay tuned for more information about that). There is a wide range of hotels within a few blocks of COSI. But we will make every attempt to provide home stays for everyone who asks for a home stay. Food will be provided during training. And we will be seeing the sights of Columbus Friday and Saturday evening, including the Short North Gallery Hop Saturday evening.
