ANNOUNCING: The New Way Politics Leadership Network
The home for New Way leaders, candidates & professionals
Today we are officially launching the New Way Politics Leadership Network to meet a critical need in the movement to chart a new path in America - connecting candidates with professionals who can help them win & giving professionals a network to thrive.
We’ve assembled a world-class group of advisors (more on them below) who will help us shape and grow the network in the coming months and years - and share their wisdom in our community.
After years of seeing the need for this network, we’ve created it. The time is now for a serious, viable ecosystem of political professionals who are willing, able and ready to serve New Way candidates. And New Way candidates need to connect with one another and the broader ecosystem and professionals so they can win.
That’s what the New Way Politics Leadership Network will do.
Here’s how it works
The New Way Politics Leadership Network is a membership-based community of candidates running in a new way alongside political professionals in every area – consulting, digital, data, direct mail, fundraising, polling and more – who desire to use their talents and experiences to chart a New Way in our politics. It’s for those with an entrepreneurial spirit who know and invite the challenge of making their own way, but want the support, encouragement, and network needed to flourish.
We are offering two unique community memberships, the candidate track for those running for office and the professionals track for those working in the New Politics space.
Candidates
You’re running for office in a new way. It will demand time, money, and toughness.
You don’t have to go it alone. We’re here to guide you, introduce you to a supportive community, empower you with knowledge, and connect you with experts to help you achieve your goals. Sign up today to become part of the movement that is charting a New Way in politics – and get the support you need to succeed!
Professionals
You want to run a successful business working in New Way politics – but you are lacking a network of likeminded professionals, aren’t sure how best to connect with clients or maybe are just starting out and need help with business basics and tools to acquire leads.
You don’t have to go it alone, either. We’re here to guide you, offer you leads, introduce you to a supportive community, empower you with knowledge, and connect you with other experts to help you achieve your goals. Sign up today and become part of the movement that is charting a New Way in politics – and get the support you need to succeed.
Our Advisors
We are humbled and honored to announce our initial group of incredible advisors - and to grow it. These accomplished, seasoned professionals care about charting a New Way and will advise the network, share their wisdom on monthly calls and help us build a community that wins.
Summit
We are building our community on values - and creating a space for those values to flourish and ground our work. I believe so much in this that we are culminating our first three month sprint in an in-person summit in Nashville in April, 2024. At the Summit we’ll focus on sharpening your 2024 plans, connecting you with the broader New Way Politics community, spending time with top national leaders from a variety of fields, learning more about movement leadership styles and grounding our hearts and minds for what will be a very difficult political year. Stay tuned for more details - and join the network if you’re interested in attending. Premium memberships will include the Summit - programming, lodging and food included - you just have to get there. Non-member attendance to the Summit will be invite only.
Our Values
I firmly believe, and have for my entire career, that it is possible to engage in politics, stay rooted in your core values - and win. This doesn’t mean pollyanna notions of what it takes or that we’ll be perfect in our choices. It means that more than anything, professionals and candidates can and should be driven by what they believe in about how to treat others and what matters most. These aren’t policies, this is an approach, deeper, more foundational, that guides everything else.
Here’s the values which will guide us at New Way Politics:
In Personal Character….commit to being ethical, honest, humble and tough.
In Relationships… be collaborative, a listener, open-minded.
In Evaluating the World…believe that there is truth and seek it.
In Systems…recognize barriers and inequities and support reforms to change them.
In Policy-making…seek solutions which flow from values and reflect communities.
In Disposition….reject political violence and work to reduce extremism.
We are thrilled to bring this network to life - and can’t wait to see how it helps build a New Way in America. It’s time.
Congratulations on filling an important need in the current U.S. political landscape. Love the guiding values!
