SUMMARY:2016 Political Leadership Institute
DESCRIPTION:Political Leadership Institute\n\nAre you considering running for office? Then this crash course might be right for you!\n\n\n\nThe program will be non-partisan in nature and provide a nuts-and-bolts overview of what Lubbock County residents need to know to run for office\, what to be ready for if a friend or family member runs for office\, or how to participate in campaigns for issue-based ballot measures.\n\nTopics will include:\n\nDeciding to Run: Receive a personal checklist of questions potential candidates should ask themselves about their motivation for seeking an elected position.  Examine the responsibility and commitment necessary to hold a public office\, including the strain it may place on your family and job.\n\nLegal Issues: Rules and Regs:Learn the rules and regulations for campaigns\, including reporting requirements for contributions\, dos and don'ts for signage\, and more. \n\nStarting and Running a Campaign: Putting together a comprehensive plan is one to the first steps in running . Candidates also need to know about such items as social media\, phone banks\, signage and media relations.\n\nResearch and Polling: Effective polling starts with asking the right questions. Find out how to develop a comprehensive research plan that pushes your campaign forward. \n\n\n\nFacilitators and guest speakers will be comprised of experienced local professionals who have run for office or assisted on the campaign trail. The Political Leadership Institute will not be focused on specific policy issues\, but will instead emphasize public service and candidacy process. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is open to any civically-minded citizen of Lubbock County\, but pre-registration is required as space is limited.  \n\nFor more information\, please contact Stevie Poole at 806.761.7000 or stevie.poole@lubbockbiz.org.
