  Obama for America

  Feb 2007 - Jan 2009

  I recruited, trained and retained volunteers to work in our field office, phone bank for the campaign and to canvass neighborhoods for the candidate. I would also assist in planning events for the candidate and surrogates around the community. I managed data entry of information collected from phone banking and canvassing in our voter activation network system and analyzed that information to plan future phone banking and canvasing strategies. I organized interest based advocacy groups for teacher and for students in support of the candidate. Finally, I created and advised on campaign materials for distribution. Show less
