Thinking of running for office or of working on a campaign?

Learn what it takes at MWPC's

acclaimed Campaign Leadership Training.

MWPC trains women in the skills they need to run successful, effective political campaigns. Many of the women who hold local office and positions in the state legislature began their political careers with the help of the Massachusetts Women’s Political Caucus (MWPC).

The Annual Campaign Leadership Training features renowned national trainers in an interactive setting with workshops in fundraising, media, organization building, using the internet for fundraising, building your database, getting your message out and campaign finance laws. It also offers its attendees an opportunity to be taped and critiqued in public speaking and media interviews. Trainers Suzanne Bates and Robin Parker Wright have received rave reviews from training participants.

If you are running for office, thinking of running for office, working on a campaign or advocating for issues, this is where you learn the skills you need to be successful in the political arena.

What Women are saying about the MWPC’s Campaign Skills School:

“I attended the MWPC Campaign Training School as a new candidate for legislative office. Although I had worked on a number of campaigns and attended other campaign schools, the MWPC training was superb as it is of very high quality and is tailored to women. It was an empowering experience and I had an opportunity to meet some terrific women.”

State Representative Deborah Blumer

“MWPC was with me all the way. I sent my campaign staff to the MWPC Annual Campaign Skills Training and they gave it rave reviews.”

State Representative Jennifer Callahan

“Robin Parker Wright and Suzanne Bates provided me with the best advice I have ever received regarding running for office. Listening to their advice helped me win my election. They are the best.”

Saugus Selectman Susan Raiche

“Thought you might be interested--I ran in my first "mini-election" and won against an incumbent--Town Planning Board and Town Meeting Member of South Hadley, MA (Western MA). I know it's small potatoes but it's a start...Fortunately, I didn't have to organize a huge campaign but I did get some pointers from the MWPC Campaign Handbook that I received in the MWPC-sponsored Campaigning 101 workshop in Newton, MA last year."
