NOI Organizers Summits

Want to attend an NOI Training but can't travel to DC? No problem! We'll come to you...or close by at least.

NOI is excited to announce a slate of state-based trainings this summer on online organizing, online communications, political technology, new media, and testing/evaluation. We are working with a wide array of state-based partners for these "Organizers Summits," and will be piloting these trainings in Michigan starting in June. Over the course of the summer, NOI will be holding Organizers Summits in nine states and regions (Michigan, DC, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Pacific Northwest, New Mexico, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Ohio) in an effort to share some of the lessons learned by organizations on the forefront of online organizing and political technology.
