Save the date: AMPAC Campaign School is returning in person this fall

After two years of hosting its political education programs virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic, AMPAC is excited to announce that the 2022 Campaign School will return to an in-person format this fall.

The Campaign School will run from Sept. 29—Oct. 2 and will be hosted at the AMA offices in Washington, D.C.

Participants will be broken into campaign “staff” teams, and apply what they learn in sessions on strategy, vote targeting, social media, paid advertising and public speaking. Insider tactics will be taught by experts from both sides of the political spectrum. These professionals are the experts currently advising campaigns at every level around the country.

Stay tuned—registration is opening soon.

For more information, please contact [email protected] or visit www.ampaconline.org.

Application period open for the BHI Immersion Program

  • Design a workflow(s) with processes and protocols that work best for their practice
  • Bill/receive payment to sustain delivery of integrated care services
