NRA - ILA  CALIFORNIA  SUMMER  CONFERENCE -- AUGUST 26, 1995, at the Red Lion
Hotel, Modesto, Ca.
The Summer Conference:  Raising our level of proficiency at running our
Members' Councils, evaluating candidates, helping elect candidates who will
support the 2nd Amendment are all important goals.  This conference was
conceived for that very purpose.  The conference committee selected topics
for workshops that would provide fundamental skills, techniques and
information to aid Council officers and members in achieving these goals.

Who Should Attend:  Current officers, committee chairs, members who need to
be prepared to move into new assignments, members going into leadership roles
for the first time.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS

Evaluating Candidates:  The techniques and tools to research a candidate's
position on key issues, interviewing them and evaluating their  overall
record.
Media Relations:  Developing a public relations plan, establishing a
relationship with the media and handling the ongoing interaction with them.
Campaign Relations:  How to effectively work to support the candidate of your
choice; conducting telephone banks, precinct walks and other election-time
techniques.
Officers Training:  Understanding the duties of each of the elected positions
in your Members' Council, and the leadership of the organization necessary to
fulfill those duties.
Fundraising:  How to finance your Members' Council activities through a
variety of fundraising programs.
Communications:  Using computers, newsletters, telephone trees, mail outs,
newspapers, etc.  to reach members and potential members.
Making Presentations:  The key elements to prepare and deliver effective
presentations to members, service clubs and other public forums.
Conducting Meetings:  Monthly meetings for members and guests must be well
planned, informative and entertaining; this "how to" is vital. 
Membership Development:  Building membership is vital to the health and
effectiveness of any volunteer organization.  Our members are our strength.
Coalition Building:  Other groups can help us ... and we can help them:
forging relationships for strength.
Operating NRA Booths:  Much of our public outreach is done from a booth
...this is about doing it well.
Candidate Forums:  All of the ingredients necessary to put on a "first class"
event for the candidates and the participants.
