The Grand Valley State University Women's Center, with funding provided by Rutgers Center for American Women and Politics and W.K. Kellogg Foundation, is hosting the Ready To Run conference on April 21, 2012.

This conference is a bi-partisan campaign training program designed to empower women to participate more fully in government and specifically to encourage women to run for office. The program demystifies the process of running for elected office , encourages more women to mount campaigns, and introduces elected and appointed leaders, campaign consultants, and party officials to whom program participants can turn to as they get ready to run.

The Ready to Run program curriculum includes the following topics:

• Fundraising
• Media Training
• Navigating the party system
• Developing a campaign plan and launching a campaign
• Laying the groundwork for public life
• Internet strategies for campaigns
