Comments from participants in previous CCL Training Seminars
Sacramento,
CA – January 2003
I was a political campaign novice when I signed up and knew very little
about CA politics. This seminar has exceeded all my expectations by
making me shift from an apathetic attitude to an engaged, interested
one and I now feel a whole field of opportunities are open to me. I
definitely plan to explore working on campaigns, and paying more attention
to the status of state elections, candidates and issues. Thanks for
making this such a high- quality, enriching and affordable (especially
since I’m a student!) program!
Invaluable lessons
learned, thank you so much for all the hard work, I’ll never look
at campaigning the same again!
Although I have
worked on several campaigns in the past, I found the content to be informed
& well presented. The bi-partisan atmosphere is what initially attracted
me to the seminar- and turned out to live up to the hype.
Excellent!! I would
recommend it to anyone interested in campaigns or politics generally.
The content was
amazing and I found it to be so beneficial. Thanks to everyone for their
contributions.
Amazing experience
for young interested political folks.
Los
Angeles, CA- July 2002
Great resource. Thanks you! I really appreciated the bi-partisan mix
and the emphasis on campaigning not just to win, but for getting more
people involved in the political process. It changed my mind a bit about
political campaigns and what purpose they serve.
Very good program.
I would recommend it without hesitation. Party balance was a particularly
successful idea. It kept things more lively.
I really enjoyed
attending this conference. It was well orgranized and the quality of
speakers was excellent. It was very informative.
This is my fourth
training seminar (conducted by different organizations) and was by far
the best! Having California’s top political advisors was very
helpful and shows the hard work you put into the event.
Very informative
and organized effectively to meet the needs of new and seasoned political
persons.
Washington
DC - April 2002
I appreciated the opportunity to attend the conference. The speakers
brought valuable insight through their experiences, which made the learning
process more real. The fact that they worked on important campaigns
like John McCain and Al Gore, I knew I could trust their insight and
judgments in the field of consulting.
The seminar was
both a great introduction and a nice addition to knowledge already obtained
from classes. Good job!
CCL is a great program
and very educational. By bringing in a variety of speakers, each topic
becomes well presented and personalized. Having people speak that have
been in the field is essential. I also enjoyed hearing how everyone
got to where they are now. I learned a lot today and I am extremely
happy to have all the resources that were provided.
I have enjoyed myself
very much. Thank you for allowing us time to interact with the speakers
as well.
Invigorating and
motivation messages articulated by the presenters! Extremely valuable
and I would highly recommend the seminar!
Chicago,
IL- June 2002
This seminar has been a great journey towards sharing and hearing from
those who know what it means to care for our communities. Please continue
to expand this learning opportunity!
I liked the program
very much. It was extremely informative and enjoyable as well.
Overall I found
this campaign seminar very informative and interesting. I’m new
to politics and I’m coming out of this training with a lot of
knowledge I did not have before.
Very interesting
and useful in general & practical. I see how far we have to go to
build out party and campaigns.
