Now for the 2004 Latino Political Campaign Academy
Information Sessions: February 3 and 9th.
 In
the more than fifty years of Rochester Hispanic community
civic engagement, the Latino Alliance Political Campaign
Academy is certainly one of its most historic and innovative
projects. It engages Latinos of all political parties
who are interested in exploring elected or appointed
office and those who want to manage and participate
in the political campaigns of candidates for public
office. To our knowledge, this is the only multi-partisan
approach that has ever been undertaken in Monroe County
history.
Beginning
March 1, 2004, six dynamic sessions will cover the personal,
legal and political issues of running for public office.
Presenters include current and past elected officials,
knowledgeable campaign workers and political party leaders.
The curriculum is based on practical learning and focuses
on how to run successful political campaigns that leverage
intellectual & social capital as community assets.
The
training academy will:
- De-mystify
the candidate selection and campaign processes.
- Give
participants an opportunity to meet with and
talk directly to people who hold public office.
- Identify
opportunities and challenges faced by Latino
candidates and political workers.
- Encourage
involvement at all levels of government.
- Interact
with and meet other Latinos interested in public
service.
- Introduce
participants to political mentors.
- Provide
networking opportunities.
