Winning Campaigns© Trainings are for leaders of grassroots bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organizations: board members, staff, and super volunteers.
This fall, the Alliance for Biking and Walking is partnering with the Virginia Bicycling Federation to bring their signature Winning Campaigns© Training to Richmond, VA. Join your fellow bicycle and pedestrian advocacy leaders to learn from expert coaches and each other through the Alliance’s proven curriculum on choosing, directing, and winning campaigns to increase bicycling and walking. After three days of fun and inspiring work with the country’s leading experts in advocacy, you’ll come away with the tools and confidence to not only advocate for improvements, but win them!
You’ll learn how to:
- Choose the right issue;
- Set realistic but visionary goals, choose the best strategies and tactics, and stick to timelines;
- Map out the power structure in your community, support and leverage allies, neutralize and convert enemies!
- Communicate effectively, reaching the right audience with the right message through the right media, …and
- Raise money, to strengthen your organization for the next bigger victory!
- In the end, you’ll have a detailed campaign blueprint that will assure a victorious campaign and set up your organization for greater victories in the future.
