Two Campaign Academies open to any candidate, campaign worker or activist are being jointly sponsored by Nevada Rural Electric Association (NREA), the Nevada Farm Bureau and the Nevada League of Women Voters. The first Campaign Academy will be held in Reno on February 22 and the second will be held in Las Vegas on February 23.
The Campaign Academy was created to help individuals seeking public office sharpen their political skills and prepare for the rigors of the campaign trail whether it be school board, town or county council, state or federal office.
“The Campaign Academy is an intensive classroom setting for any candidate hoping to win and serve their community,” says Dagny Stapleton, Government Relations Director for NREA. “By offering this training, we believe everyone is better served. Some of the best candidates just need to know how to run.”
The class is open to candidates of any political party and will feature seasoned campaign veterans and professionals focusing on the following core areas: fundraising, campaign strategy, message development and communication skills.
Attendees will also learn about campaign rules and regulations from the Nevada Secretary of State’s representatives.
