Candidate Campaign Training

A candidate campaign training is being offered to anyone seeking public office presented by the Bismarck-Mandan Board of Realtors, Bismarck Mandan Chamber EDC and Bismarck-Mandan Home Builders Association. 
 
The training session covers information on what it takes to run for office, how to plan and budget for a race, how to raise money legally, how to leverage social media and many other topics.
 
“Events like this are important because there very well may be members of our community who have thought about seeking office, they just didn’t know where to start. This will give them that place,” said Chamber EDC President Brian Ritter.
 
The Candidate Training Session is scheduled on Wednesday, February 5 from 9:00am to 4:00pm at the Bismarck Mandan Chamber EDC located at 1640 Burnt Boat Drive in Bismarck.
 
This is not the first time these organization worked together to host an event like this. 
 
“We’re thrilled to co-op on this campaign training,” said BMHBA Executive Officer Dot Frank. “In fact, the HBA is proud to have one of its members, who attended the training, later seek and obtain a seat on the Bismarck City Commission,” Frank said in reference to BMHBA Board Member Greg Zenker.
 
“The Chamber EDC, Realtors, and Home Builders regularly share information and discuss common interests in bettering our communities and our state. Collaborating to sponsor this event is a perfect example of one of the ways that we do that,” Nancy Deichert, CEO, Bismarck Mandan Board of Realtors.
 
The cost is $25 and includes lunch. Anyone interested can register by calling the BMBOR at 701-255-0712.
