ELLA Wins (Elections & Leadership Latina Academy)
CAWP together with a steering committee of leaders in the Latina community, sponsor ELLA Wins (Elections & Leadership Latina Academy), a pre-conference session of the New Jersey Ready to Run® Campaign Training for Women. ELLA Wins participants attend a half-day session that targets issues of particular interest to Latinas running for political office. ELLA Wins participants then attend Ready to Run® the next day to learn about the nuts and bolts of working on a campaign.
Ready to Run® offers a unique opportunity for potential women candidates to hear directly from prominent elected and appointed leaders, campaign consultants, and party officials about how to get Ready to Run®. Topics covered include fundraising, navigating the political parties, working with the media, and developing a campaign plan. More details on Ready to Run®.
