 The training is sponsored by Building One America and its affiliates, and will be conducted by experienced organizers who direct and build large membership- based organizations in Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania

Topics covered include:

The principles and techniques of organizing to build power
Making and sustaining relationships in the public arena

Facilitating effective meetings
Identifying the building blocks of a power organization

By providing a learning community that emphasizes self-reflection and mutual inquiry, this training will allow you to reflect upon your experiences and what it means for you to be a leader in the public arena. You can expect an environment that provides the opportunity to take risks, practice new behaviors and re-examine your current strengths and weaknesses. By the end of the week, you will develop a personal plan of action for becoming a more effective and powerful person.
