The LGBTQ+ Victory Institute is bringing its signature Candidate & Campaign Training to Charlotte April 11-14 as part of its efforts to train a diverse pipeline of LGBTQ+ leaders to run for office and win.
Understanding how to develop a winning strategy that uses campaign tools effectively is what leads a campaign to victory. The Victory Fund’s four-day Candidate & Campaign Training provides comprehensive, non-partisan training to present and future LGBTQ+ candidates, campaign staff and community leaders.
Participants will learn the necessary skills and strategies by engaging in tough, realistic campaign situations, and hearing from our campaign experts. The organization has trained thousands of openly LGBTQ+ people how to build winning campaigns — including former Houston Mayor Annise Parker, U.S. Congressman Robert Garcia, and Virginia State Delegate Danica Roem.
In order to take part, you must apply by March 15, 2024 for priority consideration. The program will take place in Charlotte beginning Thursday, April 11 at 5:00 pm and continue through Sunday, April 14, ending at noon.
To successfully complete the application process, you will need to submit an online application.
After the staff reviews your application, you will receive notice of whether or not you will attend the training and details your registration information to officially be a trainee.
The finalized, post-approval application date for Southern Campaign and Candidate Training in Charlotte is April 5. Program Costs are as follows:
$400 for all program materials, training fees, food and a shared double hotel room for three nights
$675 for all program materials, training fees, food and a private single hotel room for 3-nights
Note: These are fixed costs. Regardless of whether you live locally or not, you must select one of these two prices. It’s required that program participants stay at host hotel due to long training days/nights.
