New I2M Survey Results! We Reveal Best Practices of Experienced Grassroots and PAC Professionals
In 2007, we conducted research (“Winning Hearts and Minds 2007”) with hundreds of political involvement professionals to find out their challenges and success patterns. It’s time to find out what has changed since then, and our results from “Winning Hearts and Minds 2009” will be a workstorm at I2M 2010.
This isn’t a just data dump – I will share with you how to immediately apply the findings to your daily job.
We have segmented results among veteran political involvement professionals ( as well as by corporate and association results) and those new to the profession, so you’ll know exactly what the experienced pro’s do and how they advance their programs.

I2M Presents Research Findings on the Best (and Worst) Uses of Social Media
As more people use technology each month – from the Internet to mobile phones to both – our habits and expectations change. We start to evolve, and the technology evolves with us. This creates an environment of digital Darwinism: political organizations and associations can either adapt or slowly die off.
Julie Barko Germany, Director of George Washington University’s Institute for Politics, Democracy and the Internet, will be sharing her latest research on how groups are successfully (and unsuccessfully) using social media to advance their causes, and how you can apply those findings to your outreach efforts. She serves as the director of the Institute for Politics, Democracy & the Internet and director of marketing and communications for The George Washington…
