At this summer’s OCCCO Leadership Summit, OCCCO leaders sat together to brainstorm how to build power as an organization through voter registration, education and mobilization.  Folks recognize that in so many cases, just getting people together to talk about issues isn’t enough; if we want to have a significant impact and reach the ears of our elected officials, we need more voters who share our values. Leaders across the county have begun to develop strategic plans, build allies, and talk with community members about voting in 2012.

Sixty OCCCO leaders came out to the Garden Grove United Methodist Church for an all-day training that incorporated plenary sessions and workshops.  Participants discussed race and poverty in Orange County, voter development work for 2012, education organizing, and more.  Keep your eyes out for our next Leadership Summit in January of 2013!

The bi-annual OCCCO Leadership Summit held on Saturday, January 29 was a huge success!  Four trainings, hosted by OCCCO community leaders, OCCCO staff and Robert Nothoff, a policy analyst from OCCORD, engaged nearly 70 community residents from multiple cities in Orange County, and a few from LA county.

The series of trainings focused on understanding the environment of Orange County and taught principles, techniques, and skills that we use in our organizing work on a daily basis. It also included a training session for those who are completely new to organizing.  Also, look for the next Leadership Summit on Saturday, July 30, 2011.
