Campaign Management Training Seminar

October 24 – 25, 2023

Nebraska Farm Bureau
5225 S. 16th Street, Lincoln, NE 68512

Running for elected office at any level can be challenging. There’s much to consider before jumping into the fray. Understanding the time commitment, the ins-and-outs of running a campaign on a day-to-day basis, and fundraising are among the things to consider before seeking office. That’s why the NEFB-PAC offers campaign training for perspective candidates and others interested in campaigns.

About the Seminar

The Campaign Management Training Seminar was developed by the American Farm Bureau Federation with the input from political consultants and staff of both political parties.

DVDs, visual aids, a case study, and a simulated election have been developed to assist in the presentation of the seminar. This will enable participants to have meaningful, hands-on experiences and to test techniques, tools, and methods.

Purpose – To help candidates run for public office, whether veteran office holders or first-time participants, plan and execute successful political campaigns.

Target Audience – The seminar is designed for candidates for public office, their families, their campaign teams, and other individuals who may be interested in seeking elected public office in the future. We encourage the candidate, his or her family, and team to attend and work together.

Campaign Level – The seminar is structured and flexible enough to fit any level of campaign whether it is for local, state, or federal public office.

Participant Fee – A fee is charged to help cover the cost of materials, equipment, break refreshments and meals.

Testimonies

“In order to be a good public official you must first get elected. Farm Bureau’s campaign training does a great job of explaining what you need to know to run a successful campaign and the many issues you will face during your campaign. From the day you announce your intentions, your life will change and by attending this training it prepared me to handle the challenges of being the candidate.”
Myron Dorn State Senator
“Campaigning is ever changing and knowing how to get the voters’ attention in an election is valuable information. The Nebraska Farm Bureau Campaign Training is a two-day workshop that will guide you through how to put together the right flyer for your campaign, going door to door and shaking hands and talking about the issues that matter to voters in any election. This training was affordable, purposeful, and impactful. It was the best money I spent when I ran for the state legislature office.”
Loren LippincottState Senator
“If you are thinking about running for any political office, going to the Nebraska Farm Bureau’s campaign training is a must! This program goes over every aspect of running for office and it is great hands-on training that will help you in whatever office you want to serve. As a candidate I learned about strategies to run a successful campaign. Now as a state senator, I highly recommend going through this valuable training.”
Barry DeKayState Senator
“Running for an elected office is much more than knocking on doors and shaking hands. There are numerous other techniques and insights that you need to know to insure all your hard work pays off on election day. One of the smartest things I did for my campaign was to attend the FB candidate training. Campaigning is an ever changing landscape and what worked last election probably won’t catch the voters attention this cycle, so you need to be up to date with all of the latest ideas to guarantee your message will be heard.”
Dan HughesFormer State Senator
“I found Nebraska Farm Bureau’s campaign training to be a very valuable experience. I was introduced to other candidates, whom I now serve with in the Legislature. It also provided me with the information I needed to put together committees and the needed strategies to run a successful campaign. I highly recommend this school to any candidate wanting to run for public office.”
