Michigan Cycling Friends,

A powerful campaign to increase biking and walking takes time, research and plenty of knowledge about grassroots organizing. Unfortunately, there aren't any shortcuts in transforming your community. But there is one way to get your campaign on the fast track to victory.

The Alliance for Biking & Walking created its Winning Campaigns Training to give both novice and veteran bicycle and pedestrian advocates the skills, strategies and advice they need to kickstart and turbocharge campaigns to improve biking and walking.

The League of Michigan Bicyclists is pleased to be one of the six organizations across the country to be selected to host a training in 2011.  The Michigan Winning Campaigns Training will be held in Lansing (location TBD) from August 26-28.

Led by longtime advocates and national experts, the training teaches participants how to:

  • Identify and map the key decision makers
  • Craft a persuasive message to rally members and policy makers
  • Use media outlets to communicate to a broad audience
  • Become an effective fundraiser
  • And much more!

The workshop is hosted by the League of Michigan Bicyclists and is facilitated by Alliance staff and consultants, who will help you create a detailed Campaign Blueprint to chart your path to victory, step by step. But the Winning Campaigns Training is more than a class. It’s a fun, interactive, inspiring experience that fosters collaboration and connection among your region's advocates.

Sign up for this affordable training by July 29 and get the early-bird registration rate! Registration is now open at:
