Neighborhood Leader Program

Nancy Greenman, Linn Dems Neighborhood Leader coordinator, leads an NLP training session in February 2020 at Little Wuesten German Food in downtown Albany.
The Neighborhood Leader Program makes voter engagement effective and fun. The Program supports our candidates during elections, and builds our county party all year long.
  • Neighborhood Leaders build ongoing relationships. They connect with their neighbors to hear their concerns and give them information about issues and candidates; and
  • Neighborhood Leaders help to get out the vote at election time by making sure their neighbors have what they need to return their ballots on time. 
Neighborhood Leaders are well equipped for this role. Monthly get-togethers (currently by zoom) use data and information to create an action plan for each phase of the election cycle. Leaders develop confidence in talking about current issues and candidates.  Local candidates often attend and work with Leaders to develop talking points. Lively conversation (and good food in non-COVID times!) encourage participation and mutual support.    
When Leaders are ready to act, they receive a list of voters, as well as any materials needed for outreach. They may write postcards or letters, make phone calls or send texts.  In non-COVID times they may talk to their neighbors face-to-face. Over time, Leaders become go-to sources of reliable information for the voters on their lists. They enter the results of their activities in the Neighborhood Leader database, where they contribute to our candidates’ roadmaps to success. 
During 2020, Linn and Benton County Neighborhood Leader Programs began to closely collaborate and will continue to work together through 2021.  For more information about the program contact Nancy Greenman.
