A special opportunity is being offered to southwest Florida Democrats — a free, day-long training session that will make you a more effective political leader.

Called Blue Bench Training, it is an all-day, hands-on intensive learning experience. Trainees practice hard and essential skills; learn from political professional across digital strategy, field operations, and fundraising. And they learn to build communities with local leaders and fellow, passionate Democrats during the training day.

Blue Bench Trainings are built for three main audiences: Candidates and potential candidates, campaign staffs, and local leaders.

Trainees are split into three groups at the beginning of the day and our action-oriented training material is tailored to each audience.

The training is free for all attendees and a light breakfast and box lunch will be provided.

Please RSVP if you plan on attending. For more information contact Jami Hudson at jami@floridadems.org. (239) 898-0520.

Where: Florida SouthWestern College, 8099 College Parkway, Fort Myers
