Assessing your leadership potential
Interested in potentially pursuing leadership positions in your
community? Thinking about running for office, working on a campaign or
advancing in your current community leadership role? Learn more about what
the options are, how to assess political opportunities, gauge your own

Understanding power – its sources, and how it is gained and lost –
is essential for becoming a community leader. In this session, you will
learn more about where power is concentrated in your community, and how you
can begin to build your own source of power. In building your own source of
power, we will focus on setting goals, developing your strategy, and
choosing and implementing tactics.

and message
Developing and communicating your vision is essential for anyone
looking to make change in their community. In this session, we will explore
what it is that you care about, and how to engage others by speaking to
common values. Learn more about how to effectively market yourself and your
ideas, and how to best manage the media.
June 4 – Fundraising 101
Money and politics too often go hand-in-hand, especially when it
comes to running a campaign. Raising money is vital, but it is also one of
the most difficult things to do, especially for women. Learn more about the
basics of raising money – whom to ask, how, and when, and how New
Hampshire’s new campaign finance reform law can help you too. And don’t
worry, we’ll also walk you through the paperwork you need to fill out with
the state!
June 11 – Community engagement
and civic participation
A civically educated and engaged community is the basis for getting
elected. But how does one go about engaging constituents? And making sure
they vote? This session will help you assess current voting trends in your
communities, who isn’t voting and why, and how you can effectively mobilize
friends and volunteers to help get out the vote.
