Political Education
AMPAC Regional Campaign and Grassroots Seminars
This program, introduced in 2004, is a traveling, one-day version of AMPAC’s Campaign School and Candidate Workshop. The Seminar introduces participants to the fundamentals of modern political campaigns, including:
- Developing a campaign strategy;
- Building a campaign message;
- Different kinds of fundraising techniques (and the laws that govern them); and
- How to communicate with elected officials.
Participants will leave the Seminar with the knowledge to make a positive impact on a political or legislative campaign.
The Seminar is designed to be co-hosted by AMPAC and a state medical society, with AMPAC covering the cost of faculty and materials and a state society securing a meeting space, guest speaker, meals, and inviting attendees. If your a state medical society is interested in co-hosting a future Seminar, please email politicaleducation@ama-assn.org or call 202-789-7465.
