Presenter: Nonprofit Vote
Cost: Free
While the news may be focused on the presidential race this November, communities across the country are also electing state and local officials. Such elections bring with them candidate debates, forums, and other events are prevalent in the summer and fall months to help voters learn more about candidates and their campaigns. Yet, not knowing who is on the ballot is a common reason cited by potential voters for why they didn't participate in an election. Therefore, as a nonpartisan voter education activity, candidate engagement is a key strategy for nonprofits encouraging the people they serve to vote!
Although in-person events will be limited this year, there is still a large role for nonprofits to play! By pivoting in-person events and contact to virtual formats everyone can still make sure that their communities are informed about their choices and that candidates understand who and what their organizations stand for. Join the Nonprofit Vote on Aug 13 at 1 p.m. CT for their webinar on 'Engaging Candidates Virtually During COVID-19', as they cover why candidate engagement matters, how to keep it nonpartisan, and ways to adapt to online formats and platforms. The featured speakers will share their first-hand experience on this topic. Don't miss it!
