I got an email the other day from an email list regarding the 2008 Asian American & Pacific Islander Democrats Political Fair (and resume book) happening in Washington, D.C.
“Have you ever wondered how Democratic candidates find staff for their campaigns? Have you considered working for the Party or for our national convention in Denver next year? Are you toying with the idea of getting involved as a paid staffer in the 2008 elections? As leaders in the Democratic Party, we are often asked
to recommend talented AAPI candidates for positions with Party committees, convention staff and campaigns across the country. But – as far as we know – there has never been a single data bank of AAPI politicos in one place… until now! We are building a national AAPI Democratic résumé book so that when the calls for recommendations come, we can answer. More importantly, we will proactively work to identify, recruit, train and place AAPI staff into key positions throughout our national network of campaigns. Whether you’re an experienced political hand with numerous campaigns under your belt or a “newbie” looking to get involved for the first time (or anyone in between) the Democratic National Committee invites you to the 2008 AAPI Political Fair on Friday, November 16, 2007.”
For more information, click here for the flyer. If you can’t make it to Washington, D.C., the DNC also plans on having a conference call / webinar session as well.
Since 8Asians.com is a non-partisan blog, if there are any similar events going on for Asian-Americans for the Republican National Committee, please let us know!
