The final session of the 2010 Partners in Policymaking class is soon approaching. The class will meet on September 24th at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Ontario, California to learn about serving on boards and understanding Roberts Rules of Order. The next day the participants who will have completed more than 120 hours of training will graduate from the Partners in Policymaking California program. This graduating class will bring the total of Partners in Policymaking graduates from California in the past four years to 139!
Partners graduates can now be found serving on boards, leading community advocacy groups, speaking at public hearings and leading the charge on important legislation. The California Partners in Policymaking program has been a tremendous success. Over the past four years classes have been held across the state giving residents in every community an opportunity to participate in this internationally recognized advocacy training program. We are proud of the important work our graduates have done and look forward to the exciting things our 2010 graduates will accomplish.

Social media, fueled by the Internet, is gaining popularity as a quick and easy way to share information. Partners in Policymaking California, like many other advocacy organizations, recognizes the importance of getting out information quickly. That is why we have started a Twitter account to share news as it happens. Twitter is an Internet based, social media that publishes short announcements from it’s users.
We will be using Twitter to keep our Twitter followers informed of important news events, advocacy opportunities and updates on the current Partners in Policymaking training. Given the universal restriction of no more than 140 characters, our messages (tweets, as they are called) will be brief and to the point. We will often include links to other websites where the reader can get even more information.

It only takes a couple minutes to get your free account. You will also find our tweets under PIPCA Twitters right here, on our website.
