Testimonials From Previous Participants
"The workshop was invaluable-it helped me at every level and with all the small things that become very visible during the campaign. The opportunity to watch yourself on camera, how you speak, how you come across and the phrases you use was very helpful."
Judy Emmons
2009 Candidate for Secretary of State
Former State Representative 70th House District
"From my standpoint it was very nice to listen to ideas for a more in depth campaign if I decide to run for a higher office later. The people that put the workshop on were very knowledgeable and tailored the information to the office that I was running for. It was a nice workshop and it's wonderful that Farm Bureau puts this on."
Michael Hard
Branch County Drain Commissioner
"I've attended a lot of these educational campaign workshops. Farm Bureau without an exception was the #1 program that have I attended. I attribute the Farm Bureau's workshop to my successful campaign."
Gary McDowell

"Attending the workshop with my campaign manager helped our team to better organize our campaign plan and allow us to focus on the issues at hand. We received great ideas especially pertaining to how to formulate what our goal was and then a road map to getting there and achieving that end goal.
I would definitely recommend the Farm Bureau Campaign Management Workshop to anyone that is considering running for a public office. Whether you are a veteran to the campaign field or this is your first time running, there is something for everyone to learn here."
