WMass Running for Local Office Workshop

As part our "run local" initiative, we're organizing a series of workshops on how to run in a local election.  We're talking town meetings, city councils, and school committees.  It doesn't take a fortune to run, you don't need an army of volunteers, and the work you do can make a real difference in your community.

If you've ever considered running for local office, then this workshop is for you -- even if you're still on the fence.  We'll talk about logistics (filing paperwork and gathering signatures), ideas for running small but effective campaigns, and what happens after you've won the election.

People who've served in local office are also enouraged to attend, regardless of party affilation.  We hope you'll share your experiences, and the things you learned while running.

This event will be held on Tuesday, April 25th at the Holyoke Public Library Community Room, 250 Chestnut St, Holyoke. It will be from 5:00pm to 8:00pm.
