How To Run For Elected Office Forum

A “How To Run For Elected Office Forum” is being held by by the Urban Resource Center on January 26, 2010 at the Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library (350 Pageant Lane) from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

With more than 40 elected positions up for grabs this forum hopes to get more people interested in running for public office by providing a basic education of how does one become a candidate, the basics of running a campaign, the effectiveness of using social networks like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, or any of their favorite social network tools and much more.

During the last election season technology was heavy used by all sides of the political spectrum, and was was highly successful in energizing and recruiting younger voters. The objective of the forum is to achieve the same thing.

A panel of guests will be on hand to speak about their field of expertise as well as to answer any questions the future candidate or audience members might have. The panelists are:

  • Ms. Vickie Koelman, Administrator of Elections for Clarksville – Montgomery County.
  • Dr. David Kanervo, Professor/Chair Austin State University Political Science Department.
  • Dr. J. Kathy Lee Heuston, Assistant Professor APSU Communications Department.

The forum is free & open to the public,  and all political party affiliations. Women and minorities are especially encouraged to participate, and to run for elected office.  A more diverse government is essential for the future of Clarksville-Montgomery County.

This forum is guaranteed to have something to help the first time candidates, and the seasoned politician!
