SUMMARY:Day 2: Waterloo Region Women's Municipal Campaign School
DESCRIPTION:Day 2 of the Waterloo Region Women’s Campaign School is a full-day\, hands-on training designed to help you move from “I think I might do this” to “Here’s how I’m going to do it.” This is a non-partisan\, practical experience for women who are ready to take the next step — not just to explore the idea of running\, but to start building a campaign. You’ll spend the day learning from people who understand what it actually takes to run — and win — a local campaign. We’ll focus on the real work behind the scenes: how to plan your campaign\, connect with voters\, build a team\, and communicate your message with clarity and confidence. Together\, we’ll walk through: – How to map out your campaign and timelines – What effective voter outreach really looks like – The fundamentals of fundraising and budgeting – How to work with media and tell your story – Building a strong social media presence – Preparing for debates and public conversations – Recruiting and managing a campaign team This event is for you if: – You’ve decided to run — or are very close – You want to understand what it really takes to run a campaign – You’re ready to move from thinking to doing – You’re looking for tools\, structure\, and support What you’ll leave with: – A clearer plan. Practical tools. And the confidence to take your next step. This is where “maybe” turns into momentum.
