API Building Community Leaders
Campaign Boot Camp 2025
API Building Community Leaders kicked off with a two-day campaign boot camp in November 2025 for API leaders ready to dive into the political process. ​
This two-day training experience included leadership development, campaign and election basics, messaging and speaking, and API community issues. This first cohort had an overview of how to get started on a political campaign, take on a leadership mindset, and plug into a network of community leaders and current and former API elected officials.

Our first cohort of BCL Campaign Boot Camp participants went through a selective process to identify candidates who:

-
Add to the group's diversity of backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, industries, and lived experiences that represent a broad cross-section of API communities
