Mayor Norris to be keynote speaker for Candidate Training

A full range of speakers, including Oregon City Mayor Alice Norris, will present the Candidate Training Workshop on Saturday, January 9, according to Joe Krumm, chair of the event’s development team.

If you are a candidate, are considering being one, currently hold office, want to assist in a campaign, or just wonder what all that is about, this workshop is for you!

Krumm said that the last time the Chamber presented this event, two years ago, more than 70 percent of those who attended were successful in their bid for election or reelection.

The class takes the mystery out of political campaigns, and focuses on the ABCs of campaigning. This year’s January 9 event is focused on a theme of “Can you be civil and still win and election”. The session is a non-partisan overview of all things political and will cover such topics as filing, raising money, spending money, voter pamphlets, putting a team together and many others. Attendees will receive a “Top Ten Tips” from each speaker and panelist and specific information from the Secretary of State’s office.

In addition to Norris some of the other presenters include State Senator Martha Schrader, State Representative Brent Barton, Happy Valley City Councilor Lori DeRemer, a member of the staff of the Secretary of State’s office and the Clackamas County Clerk.

Western Advocates, Inc is sponsor of the workshop, which will be held in room 141, beginning with registration at 8:45 and the program at 9 am. The session will conclude at 1 pm. Coffee and other beverages will be served. Advance registration is requested. Members cost is $20, non-members $35. Registration is on line or at the Chamber office, 503-654-7777.
