Running for Office? WVFB’s Campaign
Seminar Helps Candidates Make Their Mark
Are you a current officeholder facing re-election?
Are you planning or thinking about running for a
political office now or in the future? If so, the West
Virginia Farm Bureau Campaign Seminar may hold
the keys to your success!
This two-day workshop is jam-packed with
information to help you win your election. Candidates,
their spouses and their campaign managers are
encouraged to attend and work together as a team
toward their goal.
WVFB’s bipartisan campaign management
training seminar was developed by the American
Farm Bureau Federation, with input from political
consultants and staff members of both political parties.
Videos, PowerPoint presentations, a case study and a
computer simulation have been developed to assist in
the presentation of the seminar. The current national
success rate is 74% for those who have attended these
seminars. This year’s seminar will be led by Linda
Himmel, Director of Policy Implementation Programs
for the American Farm Bureau Federation. Prior to
joining American Farm Bureau in September 2002,
Himmel served as Director of Government Relations
for the Washington Farm Bureau Federation, worked
as a field coordinator/special assistant for former U.S.
Senator Slade Gorton and was a coalition director
for Washington Citizens for World Trade. Himmel
has built effective coalitions and activated successful
statewide grassroots organizations for issues and
candidates.
This year’s Campaign Seminar will be held
September 30 & October 1 at the Bridgeport
Conference Center in Bridgeport, WV. Enrollment
