Training on Strategic Campaign Research, Nov. 16-18

From the AFL-CIO Center for Strategic Research:

Our annual training on Strategic Campaign Research will be held on November 16-18 at the Maritime Institute in Linthicum, Maryland. […] 

The training in November is a shorter and more accessible version of the intensive Cornell class that we cosponsor each summer.  It is designed for those who are new to strategic research – researcher new hires, organizers who do their own research, and other staff with research duties, along with leaders and members who want to learn more about strategic campaigning.  Community allies are welcome to participate. […]

Please note that the course is limited to 28 participants and we encourage early registration.
