I still haven't had time to write up my thoughts on the Emily's List candidate training I attended in Vermont this past weekend, mainly because I've been busy doing all the things they told me to do right away (re-write my campaign plan, message, hire staff, etc.) I'll try and get something written up this week, but in the meantime, I wanted to post this information:
EMILY's List will be holding upcoming political opportunity trainings in the following locations:
Columbia, Maryland
May 14-15, 2004
Hilton Columbia
Miami, Florida
May 21-22, 2004
Radisson Hotel Miami

Columbus Hotel
Dover, Delaware
June 14, 2004
Sheraton Dover Hotel
Des Moines, Iowa

These are the dates and venues for the upcoming candidate training - you don't have to be a "formal" candidate - if you're thinking for running for office sometime in the future, GO! This weekend was a truly amazing experience, and I urge any and all women thinking of holding public office to attend. For more information, visit the Emily's List website, email Jessica Reyna at jreyna@emilyslist.org or call her at 202-326-1400.
Just do it! (Yeah, Nike, you got a problem with this, bring it on!)
One thing - Emily's List is convinced that down-ticket candidates, particularly women, can't raise money on the Internet... Please help me to convince them otherwise, and click on my donate button to the right.
Update: The trainings are FREE! Yes, no charge, graits, libre, etc. You only pay for your hotel, they even feed you (and man, the food at the Stoweflake was awesome - so much for the Atkins while I was there...) Now go! Sign up...hurry, they fill up quick.
EMILYS List rocks! Good for you!
I wish I could participate in the training.
