Campaign Volunteers
Campaign Volunteer Resources
Our Promise would not be possible without our many state employee campaign volunteers. These volunteers typically assume one of these three roles:
- Statewide Leadership Team Members who are appointed by the Secretary, Agency-level leaders and are responsible for top-level leadership and inspiration in the implementation and execution of Our Promise for their agency/departments.
- Statewide Department Campaign Chairs who are the “go-to” people in each respective department charged with educating, recruiting and inspiring their fellow California State Employees to be part of this campaign.
- Key Connectors who are committed, passionate advocates identified and recruited by the Statewide Department Campaign Chairs. They’re responsible for the solicitation of a specific number of employees (25-30) in a department. They are active members of the team and are vital to the Our Promise $7 million goal.
Here you can find training resources and tool to better help you in one of these above volunteer roles.
