Good communications are essential to success! Maintaining websites, posting on social media, and creating digital media like our newsletter and calls to action all require different skills and sustained effort.
We’re looking for volunteers to join our communications team. Interested? Contact Shannon Starch.
The Club’s bi-monthly club gatherings offer the chance for Legacy Leadership Club members to gather for a lunch and interact with some of the unexpected and fascinating movers and shakers of the day.
These smaller group lunches allow for in-depth conversations as our speakers share unique viewpoints of the political world as they see it from their perspective.
Iowa Democrats need modern digital tools to compete. Too many county Democratic parties lack professional websites. ActivateIowa is a volunteer network building the digital foundation for Iowa’s progressive movement. If you can learn basic software, you can help our counties become part of a modern statewide communications network!
