About the event
Virginia needs strong, principled leaders now more than ever—and that's exactly why we recommend attending the Governance Academy of Virginia. Do you want to make a difference for your neighborhood? Will you answer the call, step up to the plate, and take the first step towards elected office—school board, local council, or General Assembly? Or will you become the power behind the throne, the skillful campaign manager who gets quality candidates elected?
This June, the Virginia Institute for Public Policy is hosting a hands-on training program designed to prepare the next generation of leaders to run for office, serve effectively, and make a real impact in their communities. Whether you've considered running for office, working on a campaign, or simply becoming more involved in public policy, this program is built for you.
You can attend either just one day or join us for both days, depending on what you want…
