Candidates Participating in SBWPC Workshop Win Election


T he Candidate Development Committee held a workshop in August for candidates running or planning to run in elections in the next two years.  Of the six attendees who ran in this recent November 6, 2018 election, five of them won!  The Candidate Development committee is proud to have played a role in the elections of candidates from Ventura to Guadalupe.
 
The workshop was an intensive and focused on presenting one's platform in an "elevator speech" and in a candidate forum opening statement.  Each cohort of three participants had two coaches to assist with content and style.  
 
Comments from participants following the workshop included:
 
"The experience was awesome as was having a supportive environment in which we could learn from each other." 
 
"The coaches were helpful as they helped me speak with more confidence and they gave me ideas of how to project my voice better. By the following day, I received a compliment after a speech I made to the campaign volunteers as compared to a previous occasion." 
 
"As a result of this workshop experience I completely redid my approach to my remarks at my Campaign Party last weekend and I think it went well.  At any rate I got some very positive comments about what I said as well as checks and offers of help."
 
The Candidate Development Team will hold workshops in 2019 to prepare for 2020 races.  If you are considering running for office in the future, please contact : Lisa@sbwpc.org .
