Oregon thrives when bold leaders step up.

Join us September 27–28 in Bend for a two-day, skills-driven training designed for women and gender-expansive candidates and campaign managers ready to shape the future—whether by running for office or running a dynamic campaign.

Day 1 will focus on campaign culture and building the confidence to Run As You Are.
Day 2 will cover fundraising and campaign messaging.

Here’s what’s in store:
  • A comprehensive VRL/A training curriculum led by certified trainers
  • Remarks from elected officials
  • A panel discussion on campaign culture and winning strategies
  • Time for 1:1 coaching with expert trainers
  • Networking with other participants
You'll leave with clear next steps and tangible tools to design a campaign grounded in your values, skills, and community needs.
