About the Trainers and Training

This training will be conducted by Lynn Fletcher and Mary Pence, who head up the fundraising component of 31^st Street Swing Left, a chapter based in the DC/MD/VA area.

31^st Street Swing Left raised over $1,024,000 for Congressional and Senate races in 2018, and $263,000+ for the 2019 Virginia legislative races.

The training will take you from where you are (“I hate to ask for money”) to where you need to go (“Using a data-driven approach, I developed my own thought-out dialogue for making a personal ask” – an actual comment from a training participant.)
