I've written about The White House Project for over a year now. It's a group that:
aims to advance women’s leadership in all communities and sectors, up to the U.S. presidency. By filling the leadership pipeline with a richly diverse, critical mass of women, we make American institutions, businesses and government truly representative. Through multi-platform programs, The White House Project creates a culture where America’s most valuable untapped resource—women—can succeed in all realms.
And now its signature training program, Go Run, is coming to Ohio.
Go Run is a weekend long training dedicated to equipping you, the future candidate, with the skills to run and win. The training aims to demystify the political process and inspire a richly diverse group of women in to the leadership pipeline. Go Run provides the nuts and bolts of running for political office by focusing on areas like communications, fundraising, and campaigning - skills you can use in your work and in your community up to the day you decide to run!
When: The weekend of June 6-8, 2008
Where: The Riffe Center and the Hyatt in Columbus
Link to application is here.
Have questions? E-mail me, leave a comment or contact Faith Winter at fwinter@thewhitehouseproject.org or call 303-871-6779.
But most importantly, if you're a woman, think about applying yourself, or asking or convincing other women to apply.
Enormous props to the group of Ohio women and White House Project folks whom I've gotten to know over the last few months in the effort to get this training here.
