Training Details
Fill your group training with as many attendees as you'd like for one low price! Depending on the topic and your team's needs, we will provide one or two presenters from the J.Marie & Associates team.

Our standard virtual trainings include 60 minutes of prepared course material with an additional 30 minutes of Q&A included at no additional charge. Attendees who are pressed for time can get the essential content in 60 minutes, but our presenters will stay for another half hour of dialogue and Q&A to deepen participants' connection with the material. We encourage attendees to "bring a problem with you" so we can help you apply the class concepts to your real world issues, ensuring you walk away with a set of strategies and applicable next steps.

Virtual trainings are live-facilitated on Zoom or the platform of your choice.

Communications & Leadership Group Trainings
The stress of securing enough community support for your bond and/or levy can be a great leadership burden. Bonds and levies not only provide critical resources for your organization, but are also a high-stakes litmus of the support your organization has by the community it serves.
This session is centered around community engagement and architecting place-based strategies to win the support of your community at the ballot box. Elections aren’t just won in the year your measure is on the ballot, and make no mistake: election success is a data-driven endeavor. Lots of people pretend to know how to run a good campaign; this session will elevate your tactics to “pro”-level so that your winning chances are optimized.
