About this Event
Join UCSF Community & Government Relations for a 2020 Election Explainer on federal, state, and local candidates and propositions. As ballots are being returned early in record numbers, learn what we know now and what issues and races to watch on Election Day.
Hear a federal election overview, including which states could be pivotal in winning the presidency and which Congressional seats are at play. Closer to home, learn which state and local propositions and candidates could directly impact UCSF. A closing UCSF advocacy guidelines refresher for UCSF employees will give you the tools you need to understand how you can participate in the political process.
Join us for the UCSF Election Explainer & Advocacy 101 Part 2 following the election, details TBD. Find more information at UCSF Votes.

Great information. To be brutally honest (and I only add this as feedback), some of the speakers could definitely use some speaker training - Toastmasters is an excellent option to improve presentation skills.
