Show-Me Change: Running | Advocating | Winning

Registration has closed, however tickets at the door will be available for $25. These tickets do not guarantee a catered lunch, however a separate food order will be placed if neccessary. Please arrive at 8:30am promptly to purchase these tickets.

Your desire to see change in politics and to get involved in a variety of ways from running for office to advocating for positions has inspired us to create the Show Me Change! conference. Based on your interests, you will choose to participate in one of the three tracks that will run simultaneously. Show Me Change is a robust program lead by a variety of elected officials and organization champions. Together, we can and will move our state forward. There is meaningful work for each of us to do. We look forward to working together as activists, organizers, messengers, and candidates!

Registration opens at 8:30 am. Our video message kickoff featuring the Honorable Jason Kander begins at 9:30 am. We can't wait to welcome our MO State Auditor Nicole Galloway, who will deliver the keynote. Then, you will choose among the Candidate, Campaign, or Activist Breakout Tracks to learn, engage and move us forward!

Register now! Your $25 fee will cover overhead including your lunch, snacks, beverages, and handouts from various organizations. If you are planning to run for office, we also advise you to order our group’s edited version of the St. Louis Chapter of the National Women’s Political Caucus' Candidate Training Manual at its cost of $25. We will provide it to you at the conference. Register now and purchase your ticket and manual on EventBrite.

Note: Any payments at the door will require cash or check.
