NonProfit Vote Presents- Running for Office: A Primer for Nonprofit Leaders
Nonprofits play a key role in democracy building through voter engagement efforts, ensuring the people they serve are registered to vote and educated on the issues and races on the ballot. But nonprofit staff, leaders, and board members don’t need to sit on the sidelines of governance. Individuals working with nonprofits can and should consider running for office.
On January 31st, Vote Run Lead, Run for Office, & NonProfit Vote will discuss how to pipeline leaders of the nonprofit sector who are ready to run for office. We’ll explain how the campaign process should go for 501c3 workers as well as what nonpartisan programs are available to assist and develop emerging candidates and propel them to success.
