Team Meeting and Training

New and experienced Neighborhood Leaders who reside in the city limits of Evansville will have the opportunity to pick up their updated list of Democratic households. We are asking Neighborhood Leaders to speak to their list of voters once before early voting begins: October 8. 

The Neighborhood Leader Program of the Vanderburgh County Democratic Party is our get-out-the-vote, grassroots program. We train volunteers to be Neighborhood Leaders in their very own neighborhoods. These volunteers do voter outreach canvasses, speaking only to Democratic voters who live in 35-40 houses close to theirs. The mission is to elect Democratic candidates. Neighborhood Leaders also distribute printed materials such as slate cards, candidate campaign materials and informational materials about voter registration. We encourage our Neighborhood Leaders to get to know the voters on their lists and to keep going back to visit them election after election to keep their voters’ interest high and their ballots being cast. Extensive research shows that this is the very best way to turn out our Democratic voters. To sign up to become a Neighborhood Leader or ask questions about our program call 252-619-8849.

Leadership training program announces second class to take part in initiative aimed at preparing women for influential roles in public and private sectors

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 6, 2019 – Twenty-four (24) Democratic women from across Indiana – a diverse group with impressive and varied backgrounds – have been selected for Hoosier Women Forward’s (HWF) second class. Launched just last year, the Hoosier Women Forward leadership program is aimed at preparing and propelling Democratic women into influential roles in the public and private sectors.

“We were so pleased to see so many distinguished and determined women from across our state apply this year,” said HWF Board Chair Shannon Mears. “It’s exciting to see that there is so much interest in our program, and that we are truly building a network of active Democratic women in Indiana.”

“The group reflects the diversity – geographic, racial, religious and more – that makes our state and country so strong, and a key element of the HWF program,” said Amy Levander, HWF Executive Director. “Not only will they learn from one another, but will be exposed to speakers, topics and experiences that will shape their personal and professional lives going forward.”

A Section 527 nonprofit political organization, HWF raises funds through private donations and fundraising events.

On September 20th, HWF will honor its second class during a fundraising luncheon at 11:30 a.m. at the Indiana Roof Ballroom in Indianapolis.

To learn more about HWF, you can go to www.hoosierwomenforward.org, or visit the organization on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
