Attend for tips and tools for connecting and communicating with your community and ward.<\/p>\n

Have you decided that you want to run (or support another woman to run), but don\u2019t know where to start?<\/p>\n

One of the first things any candidate needs to do is build their profile and connect with their community.<\/p>\n

Social media is a great tool for building your profile and getting your message across.<\/p>\n

Come along and find out how to best use social media in your campaign.<\/p>\n

WILD have run several workshops and forums in recent years as part of their efforts to encourage more female candidates to redress the gender imbalance on the City of Greater Geelong council, which presently has three women and eight men \u2013 though the recent mayoral election saw women elected as both mayor (Cr Stephanie Asher) and deputy mayor (Cr Kylie Grzybek).<\/p>\n

The free workshop \u2013 supported by the Victorian Local Governance Association – will be held at Geelong City Hall, 30 Gheringhap Street, on Wednesday November 27 from 5.30-7pm.<\/p>\n
