Hi All, Happy Veterans Day! What a week! We're so grateful for this community who have worked so hard to protect and promote our democracy, the Democratic Party, Abortion rights and many more progressive issues. Unless you are in Georgia right now - we hope you are getting some rest. And if you are in GA, let us know how we can support you. Our primary focus is on supporting the amazing talent who will be rolled off payrolls when campaigns end. We appreciate so many of you who provided feedback to us in the form of our recent survey about these plans. Overwhelmingly, what we heard is that our community wants more networking events and professional development support along with, of course, more and varied job opportunities. To that end, we're launching a three-month set of programs called Powering Blue: Talent in Transition. This program will include a variety of virtual events and a few in-person opportunities too. We're planning online resources, workshops, career panels, networking events, career fairs, partner programs, and more. Stay tuned for a dedicated email about some of the specific events and dates that are locked in - we'll announce several next week and more over the next few weeks. We're also preparing for the next Powerful IDEA Awards to elevate and celebrate the amazing work done during these mid-term elections. In Solidarity, - Amy |
