I would welcome the idea of candidate classes.
I have spent many years preparing for this job in both
my volunteer activities in Whittier and my
professional life as NRP staff to 13 South Minneapolis
neighborhoods. I feel that "I can hit the ground
running" as they say.
However, I am sure there is a vast amount of
knowledge you need and gain only from the inside or
from gracious insiders who decide to share it with
you.
All you intellectual pundits out there who are dying
to train in a better class of candidate can start with
me. I am willing to be your guinea pig on any
seminars, or classes you want to put together.
I think it would be interesting for you to organize
past council members so we can pick their brains.
After all they have been there done that. Who better
to get the real life accounting from.
The only other thing I ask is that this be organized
at the grassroots level. (O.K. maybe with the help of
the League of Women Voters) No think tank
organizations please or groups pushing specific
agendas.
So.....go for it David and whoever. Give me the where
and when. I'll be there.
