Workshop: The Bond Formation and Campaign Process: Organizing a Community YES! Effort
Open/complimentary only to full conference education registrants.
Presenters:
When developing a future bond program, extracting meaningful input from all stakeholders is key to transforming fear into confidence. These techniques can also build consensus during visioning and pre-design phases. TMP Architecture has planned many successful bond programs, from conceptualizing the program, to State bond processes, to the campaign. In the past 10 years the firm has orchestrated more than $4 billion of successful programs, with 90% of them passing in an election on the first attempt.
Join us as we dive deep into our Bond Formation and Campaign processes (methods crafted over decades of educational design experience).

In this highly engaging workshop, you will:
The presenters will leverage a hands-on and experiential form of learning, using design strategy to ensure that the entire session is about creation and problem solving — not lecture, panel, or even small group breakout. This is a design sprint that is full of active forms of learning.
