Student report-backs on the NOI blog 11 July, 2007

I intended to blog the New Organizing Institute campaign bootcamp every day, but things just got too busy. However, our graduates have taken some of the burden off by blogging their own reports at the NOI blog. Please check them out.
The whole thing surpassed our expectations by miles. The trainees were brilliant, idealistic and had limitless energy. And we somehow succeeded in lining up a roster of really amazing trainers. Nearly all—I think I can actually say ALL—of the sessions were conducted by practitioners who are currently active and who have been breaking ground in their fields right up through the ’06 cycle. Many of the sessions were debriefs on recent innovative campaigns (Step it Up, John Hall’s distributed phone bank, the Webb and Tester campaigns, etc…).
The camp ended on Sunday with a career fair. I think at least half our trainees have already found jobs on presidentials, Congressionals and all sorts of other campaigns. If you’re hiring, email us at info@neworganizing.com
