Candidate Development Program

Description

The Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce's mission to strengthen member businesses and enhance the community aligns perfectly with the development of a non-partisan local/county-level Candidate Development Program (CDP). Focused exclusively on non-partisan races at the local/county level, this program can nurture leaders who prioritize business growth and community well-being over political affiliation. By doing so, the Chamber can contribute significantly to the region's prosperity while remaining steadfastly non-partisan.

The program will be facilitated by Dave Anderson and the Wisconsin Institute for Public Policy and Service (WIPPS).

In addition to admittance to the program, all attendees will receive a copy of Daniel Theno's book 'Winning Local Elections.' Dan Theno is a veteran campaign consultant who has advised and run dozens of successful campaigns throughout the Midwest, primarily in Wisconsin. Dan will also participate in the program's workshop. 

Theno will be a presenter at one of the workshops.
