Discover the best ways to formulate your campaign message and who the messenger should be to voters! This discussion will be relevant to both Information-Only and Vote Yes campaigns because the message is similar and the call to action is clear. In this program, participants will learn about how messaging for an election is different than messaging for library advocacy, including specific and actionable tips on designing an effective message and techniques for getting your message out.
