Local Leader Workshop

On Saturday March 25, 2023

What you will learn

County and local party leaders are the backbones of electoral politics. And they are too often ignored. In this workshop, we provide attendees with the know-how to build an effective, stable organization.

The Local Leaders Training teaches attendees a variety of practical ideas and tools to build, grow, and sustain your Local Organization. This three-hour program draws on real-world experience and successful practices from around the country to increase your effectiveness. Attendees will learn:

  • Where and how you can help to elect candidates
  • Fundraising tips and ideas
  • Candidate recruitment and vetting
  • Event management
  • Communications tools
  • Data acquisition and management

What graduates say

Dan Crenshaw

U.S. Representative (TX-02)

"The Leadership Institute made it possible for me to learn how to run a campaign, how to craft my message, how to speak effectively in public, and how to handle the media.

Above all, I learned how to win.

Today, I stand in a long line of conservative leaders who owe a debt of gratitude to Morton Blackwell and to the Leadership Institute.
