[Carfreeliving] Campaign Training in SF oct 21-23

[Dave Snyder]

SFBikers and Car-free living advocates,

In one of my lives, I work with the Thunderhead Alliance promoting 
best practices in bicycle and pedestrian advocacy. The Thunderhead 
Alliance is giving a training for advocates here in San Francisco 
Oct. 21-23.

The  training is for representatives of organizations. It costs $250 
for the first registrant from an organization, $150 for subsequent 
registrants. You cannot sign up on your own; you must be sent by an 
organization. But I know enough of our local grassroots advocacy 
groups that they would be happy to send you if you present a cogent 
proposal for a volunteer-led campaign.

For details, click here: 
http://www.thunderheadalliance.org/trainings05sf.htm.  Below is a 
blurb that you can share with others who might be interested.

I'm going on vacation in a couple of hours, so I apologize in advance 
for not being available. But leave me a message or call me after 
Labor Day and we can talk then, if you have any questions.

Cheers,

Dave

If you dream of winning a bicycle campaign -- whether for a bike lane 
on a busy street, a new path, a safe routes to school program -- and 
building a powerful long-lasting force for bicycle and/or pedestrian 
advocacy in the course of your campaigning, you should attend the 
Thunderhead Campaign Training in San Francisco, CA Oct. 21-23. The 
Thunderhead Alliance (http://www.thunderheadalliance.org) provides 
the only professional training series for leaders of bicycle and 
pedestrian advocacy organizations.

The curriculum we'll be using in San Francisco is based on 
tried-and-true campaign strategies modified for bicycle and 
pedestrian advocacy in the 21st century. Having attended these 
trainings as a participant (once, years ago, from a related 
organization) and trainer (twice this year, through Thunderhead) I 
can personally speak to the value of gaining --and sharing -- the 
leadership tools that you'll pick up. You'll be able to expand the 
effect of your work substantially when you return from the training. 
And hanging out with fellow bicycle and pedestrian advocates in San 
Francisco in October is a whole lot of fun!
