Obama campaign seeks talent

If you aspire to become a New Jersey delegate to the Democratic National Convention this summer, it might be wise to give some serious consideration to the following message. Or, if you know someone who might be interested, pass it along.

If you do sign up, please let me know. Also, if you missed the earlier post about the State Deocratic Committee’s plans for recruiting members of its convention delegation (which outlines the steps for applying and the criteria for selection) look at the next post.

Michael –

Know anyone who wants to go above and beyond to help re-elect President Obama in 2012?

Obama for America and Organizing for America are looking for bright, motivated people for our Organizing Fellowship Program — a 12-week program that will be held three times in 2012: during the spring, the summer, and the fall.

Here’s why you should think about it, or pass this along to someone who might be interested in applying: If you’re an Obama organizing fellow, you’ll gain hands-on campaign experience and strengthen your leadership skills, while working in a fast-paced environment. You’ll also learn firsthand about the grassroots efforts that drive this campaign — including recruiting volunteers and developing relationships with supporters in communities across the country.

You’ll also be on the front lines of the work that it will take to win on November 6th, 2012.

If you or someone you know might be interested, apply here or encourage your friends to.

We know that our power lies in the individuals behind this movement, and there’s nothing more important than the one-on-one conversations they have in this campaign — whether while knocking on doors or leading voter registration drives on the weekends. It’s hard work, but it’s one of the most meaningful ways to build this movement.

That’s what we’re looking for in our organizing fellows. And that level of dedication is why many join us as full-time staff after their fellowship is over. I’m living proof of that. Having started as an intern in 2007, I worked my way up through the organization to where I am today — heading up our national training programs.

Applications are being accepted and processed on a rolling basis until the program is full, but it always fills up quickly. Get started here to apply for an organizing fellowship in your state, or make your friends owe you one by passing on this link:

I’m looking forward to hearing from you,

Do you want to be part of the New Jersey delegation at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC in September of 2012?

The New Jersey Democratic State Committee aims to make its 2012 delegation the most inclusive in history. And it urges all Democrats in the state that are interested in attending the convention to participate, and to take the steps necessary to join the delegation.

To give everyone a chance, the NJDSC will be holding delegate selection workshops around the state in the coming weeks. A workshop is planned for Sussex County. You are invited to attend.

For more information about the workshops and details about the delegate selection process, go to this website: http://wfc2.wiredforchange.com/o/8787/content_item/2012delegateselection.
