Why does this community need a DFA Campaign Academy training?
In order to organize a great training you will need a Host Team of 3-5 capable organizers who are comfortable with the different aspects of event organizing (recruiting, food, social activities, etc). Please describe your team and each person's role.
Securing a venue is a pre-requisite to announcing any training. What are some possible venue locations that are free or nearly free? What are some potential locations for the training?
Describe your community's political landscape. What is your relationship with the local (state, county, etc) Democratic Party and local Party clubs and organizations? How would you involve these groups in a campaign training?
Describe the electoral landscape in your area this year. Are there any upcoming elections or candidates that the training would help elect?
