Thinking about running for school board, but wondering what it really takes to be a strong candidate? 

Join us for: Build a School Board Campaign That Actually Wins Join First State Educate on February 19, 2026, for an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at how school board campaigns are built from the ground up. 

We’ll walk through what makes a campaign competitive and community-centered. We will discuss planning, messaging, outreach, and showing up with clarity and confidence. You’ll also hear directly from former school board candidates who’ve been in your shoes. 

They’ll share what worked, what surprised them, what they wish they had known earlier, and how they stayed grounded throughout the process. There will be plenty of time to ask questions, connect with others considering a run, and have an open conversation about what to expect. 

This session is part of our 2026 candidate preparation series and a great opportunity to get informed, build confidence, and explore whether serving on a school board is the right next step for you and your community.
