Elect Her–Campus Women Win is the only program in the country that encourages and trains college women to run for student government and future political office. A project of Running Start, a national organization committed to bringing more women into elected positions, Elect Her addresses the need to expand the pipeline to women running for office and to diminish the longstanding political leadership gender gap.
UMBC's workshop will be held on Saturday, March 11th from 10:30am-3:30pm in Fine Arts Building at room 011. Breakfast and lunch will be provided (and it will be delicious). You will learn how to figure out what your message and platform is, how to craft a communication strategy that works, and you'll hear from campus and community leaders about what it takes to win. It is going to be a great day!
These skills will be applicable not only for running for office, but for helping advance your student organization, make good arguments on the job, and develop confidence in your skills as a leader. The training is open to all students of all genders, so please join us! Register here: https://docs.google.com/a/umbc.edu/forms/d/1majHo7zGFGf2D7FgY9KhaltsNnvgViWOBlNbmEEqXKI/edit
