The Certificate of Election Administration Program at the University of Minnesota is hosting a conference next week on creating strong state associations and training and improving certification programs. Attached are a couple of social media postings to push out. And, here’s the link to the conference webpage: https://z.umn.edu/ElectionConference2023
The panelists presenting are outstanding.
Elections administrators, the people who referee our democracy, are literally and figuratively under threat. Long hours, harassment, malicious open records requests, hyper partisanship – these and other factors are driving people out of elections administration. How do we attract and retain people willing to make a career of elections administration while meeting the training and collegial demands of a more professionalized workforce? The Certificate in Election Administration’s spring conference will explore the state of election administration professionalism, the role state associations play in the development of a vibrant, resilient field, and national and state-specific training programs that can help drive the profession forward.
