Leaders’ Kit:
Leadership for this project has several dimensions. One person could handle them all, or they can be shared among co-leaders. The group may decide to distribute various tasks to people who have experience—or willingness to learn. Each town can decide what will work best.
Here are the things leaders will do:
- Serve as
contact person for the Voter Outreach Committee
- Manage communication with group members
- Schedule group events:
- interactive workshop: Leaders will schedule a 90-minute Zoom meeting for all members to attend. A facilitator from the Voter Outreach Committee will conduct the workshop.
- canvassing rounds: Leaders help the group decide on the length of rounds (a weekend? week? two?).
- reflection meetings: Leaders help the group decide what kind of reflection they’d like to do and set up the meetings. Leaders can host the meetings and/or request assistance from the Voter Outreach Committee.
- Use VoteBuilder database to
make a list of infrequent voters in your town and
cut turfs (i.e., create canvassing maps); then distribute turf numbers to canvassers.
- Distribute
materials to canvassers: This includes voter registration information and buttons if your members want them. You may also decide to supply conversation guides and turf maps on paper.
- Communicate with NHDP to report turf completion.
- Create spreadsheet or other shared document for
collecting local data.
