This summer, first-year student Starre Haas will travel to New York for an IPSP project with VoteRunLead, one of the largest and most diverse campaign leadership programs in the country.
Haas will work with the nonprofit to help develop its rural leadership training program. She will observe how the non-partisan nonprofit conducts its training both online and at in-person workshops throughout the United States.
“They notified me over spring break that I will be the Lead Project Manager for what we’re currently calling the Rural Women’s Initiative,” Haas said.
She attended a Plate to Politics meeting in April. The one-day workshop offered hands-on skills training to women in food justice and sustainable agriculture who want to play a critical role in transforming the nation’s food system.
“We are happy to have Starre on board for this fellowship,” noted Erin Vilardi, CEO and founder of VoteRunLead. “It is through programs like this that bring us women with different skill sets and life experiences that help broaden VoteRunLead’s appeal and reach more women that want to run for office.”
In addition to her summer work with VoteRunLead, Haas will attend Women’s Campaign School at Yale University, a non-partisan, issue-neutral campaign program with the mission to increase the number and influence of women in elected and appointed office in the United States and around the globe.
