A strong, committed volunteer team can be a campaign’s most valuable asset. In this clip from an exclusive panel with NDTC trainers, our experts outline how to engage with and retain your political campaign’s volunteers. With moderation from Laura Petrolino, Marketing Director at NDTC, panelists included:
Elaine Almquist, founder and principal of Almquist & Associates & NDTC Trainer
Brittny Baxter, Principal and Founder at Politico Noir Consulting & NDTC Trainer
Lucy Arthur-Paratley, Campaign Advisor at New Politics & NDTC Trainer
This panel is from our monthly program where we connect our expert trainers - and their wide range of experiences - directly with our learners. Each month, we host NDTC Expert Q&As, which are panel-discussion events that provide first-hand insight on running successful political campaign.
