Dear Colleagues;

It was great to hear from so many of you on yesterday's ASDC Monthly Call. Its really exciting to hear about all of the great work happening in the states as we begin the transition to the general election season.With Donald Trump as the Republican nominee; we will have to work harder than even to ensure that we elect a Democratic President in November. On the state and local level, Trump's candidacy and division within the GOP provides some tremendous opportunities for down-ballot candidates the cycle. Lets continue to share our best practices for organizing at the local level to ensure that we elect Democrats from the State House to the White House.

LETTER FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
ASDC Family—

Join me in thanking Spring ASDC Interns, Brianne Cronin and Elizabeth Kringer for all of their hard work this semester! From assisting us with preparations with our upcoming Philadelphia meeting to working with Training Director Vanna Cure to ensure that our 2nd round of the T3 Program was top-notch; these 2 rising starts were such an integral part of our team and we cant  thank them enough. We wish them well as they embark on their summer adventures!

A few of you may have missed my note last week with important information from Rules and Bylaws Chairs Lorraine Miller and Jim Roosevelt on the Delegate Selection Process (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-2z-QgCRjMHVXhyb2NyenhOUXM/view) .

TRAINING UPDATE

State parties--

After an intense, yet rewarding, 6 weeks, we’ve officially wrapped up the 2016 T3 Training Program! As you know, this is only our second installation of the municipal training program, and this class finished with more certified participants than our inaugural fall program. In order to achieve certification, participants must have attended all 6 weeks and 12 webinar sessions of the program. Certification not only serves as proof of completion, but also is evidence that we believe the participant has the tools and knowledge to train new volunteers on basic organizing principles.

The T3 Program was created to increase the number of certified trainers in the states to assist with state party training needs locally. I hope you’ll take advantage of the certified trainers in your state as you plan county and regional training workshops. Feel free to reach out to me for a list of T3 participants in your state.

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of traveling to Sioux Falls, SD for their annual McGovern Day dinner. I led a training on party building and organizing, and joined in on the excitement of hundreds of activists and candidates as they celebrated the legacy of Sen. George McGovern. Kudos to Chair Ann Tornberg, Suzie Jones Pranger, and staff for their hard work and a job well done!

I hope you’ll join us for this week's Train to Win webinar, Digital Campaign Tools for State Parties (http://Democrats.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ca6d16b8af5e1932f64d24222&id=ccd295accf&e=8a4146a8a4) , begins in 60 minutes. We'll be joined by Jeremy Bird, political strategist and founding partner of 270 Strategies and Brian Bird, CEO of Maestro Conferencing, to discuss using digital tools to strengthen your field organizing and fundraising capabilities. If you haven’t already signed up, please register using the links below.

Thursday, May 5 - http://myaccount.maestroconference.com/conference/register/ZPMU1OS6JU09IULS (http://Democrats.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ca6d16b8af5e1932f64d24222&id=d957fb6524&e=8a4146a8a4)
