  • Knows how to communicate with facility personnel and to utilize house equipment.
  • Understands how to get the most out of an event for the lowest capital outlay.

Does this sound like your staff?

Experienced Political Productions.com personnel can tailor a training program especially for your campaign’s advance staff. Advance Classes are typically a one day program that cover press conferences, town meetings, photo-ops, fundraisers, and even debates.
