DNC Trainings

We are excited to announce three optional training sessions that DNC staff will be presenting during the Winter DNC Meeting on Thursday, March 10th. Below, you will find information about the trainings:

1:30 pm ET to 2:30 pm ET: Amplifying the Party's Message: Your Story, Your Role

  • This training session will equip DNC Members with the strategies, messages, and tools they need to craft their personal stories and uplift the important work of Democrats across the country. 

2:30 pm ET to 3:00 pm ET: Cybersecurity Essentials 

  • This training session will educate DNC Members on the essentials of staying safe online, including a look at who our adversaries are, how to keep personal data safe, and how to report security issues. 

3:00 pm ET to 3:30 pm ET: DNC x Greenfly

  • The DNC is building out its partnerships program in Greenfly, a powerful tool that will allow us to quickly and easily share graphics, videos, articles and more to wide audiences. As part of this training, members will learn to use Greenfly to add to the social media and content programs they are already running. 


COVID-19 Precautions

We highly value the safety of you and your fellow Democrats, so to ensure this, we ask that everyone work together by following the COVID policy guidelines outlined below:

  • All event attendees are required to be fully vaccinated and provide proof of vaccination. We will follow the CDC’s current definition of fully vaccinated, which at this time means having received the primary series of COVID-19 vaccines. 

    The DNC strongly encourages everyone to receive a booster shot if they are eligible.
     

  • We will be collecting proof of vaccination for all event attendees including staff, press and vendors. Upon arrival at the event, attendees will be asked to show proof of vaccination AND a valid, government issued ID. We will accept the following as proof of vaccination:

    • CDC issued Vaccination Card

      Digital Vaccine Record (e.g., Vaccine Passport App)

      Photo of CDC issued Vaccine Card

  • We know that guidance surrounding masks is different across the country and will continue to change. At this DNC meeting, all event attendees must wear a well fitted covering properly that follows the CDC’s guidelines at all times. Masking will be strictly enforced.

  • Since being unmasked poses the highest risk, eating and drinking will not be permitted during any meetings. Do not remove your mask for the duration of time it takes to drink your entire beverage; if you need to take a sip of water or coffee, you should immediately put your mask back on.

  • If you are feeling sick, even with mild COVID-like symptoms, we ask that you stay home. Mild COVID-like symptoms can include headache, sore throat, cough, sniffles, body aches, or fever.

  • Limiting your exposure beforehand is encouraged. We are all coming from different places for this meeting in Washington, DC and reducing your exposure beforehand can help keep others safe from any unknown COVID exposures in our communities before we come together.

  • While we are not enforcing social distancing at this meeting, we will be strictly enforcing the room capacity limits.
