Find out what your local venues are, and talk to the managers. Always treat them with respect, because they make the decisions. Also, consider non-traditional venues, like the local community college or city parks.\n\nAnd once you have a venue, call the radio stations in the town and see if their program managers are interested in teaming up with you. Offer them exclusive coverage and backstage passes, etc. for the event - they are more likely to team up with you if there is something in it for their listeners.

The question lacks some specific information such as what specific job within the cities elected or appointed posts you are wanting information on. Each position does not share the same qualifications so to speak. Below is a link to the "Charter for the city of Brunswick, Ohio" within it you will find several ordinances governing the rules of qulification and how to run for various offices to include the city council, city manager and a few others.\nhttp://www.brunswick.oh.us/ordinances/charter.pdf\n\nPlease note, there may also be state laws that further restrict or specifiy other qualifications a person must meet before running for or being elected/appointed into public office. A link to the states web site is also provide for research in so inclined.\n\nhttp://ohio.gov/\n\nGood Luck

first go to the local pd and find out their position,  planing dept to find out their position, and then if you aren't discouraged, start currying favor with the council. you will get a lot of nimby knee jerk reactions.\n\nfrom these 3 entities, you'll get a pretty good idea how to proceed.

Contact the investigative journalists on your local news tv stations.  Eyewitness News etc.  Also contact the newspapers and the Mayor's Office.

There should be something like a State Election Commission you can address your concern to.  Also, you can usually start with your location city hall for information.

If it is a non-partisan election the City Secretary can give you all the information about filing and running.  Get serious first.  You will need to call in every favor of every person you have ever met to win.  You need them as volunteers for about a year.  Good lunk.

Try to form a consensus amongst the participants as to which plan works best. In getting such an ambitious project off the ground, it might be wiser to meet more frequently (monthly) just in order to get things established and find some kind of rhythm. You may then revert to quarterly sessions once things are operating smoothly. \n\nI'm very impressed that you're contemplating doing something like this and I would be very interested in learning more about it. Can you keep me updated as to your progress, perhaps via your 360 blog? Thanks!

Well one you need to talk with your city mayor and find out if he will work with you on the organizational day. \nTwo; you need to find the organization that you are going to donate the money to and assure that you will be raising the funds for their cause and make sure you have a complete address and Point of Contact phone number. \nThree; you need to make flyers and get people together to work as volunteers with you (ones that can be trusted with money and commodities), you need to think about how you are going to feed a big crowd, who do you have lined up for intertainment, who is going to do the food, then you need to get the Health Insp. involved to make sure no one sues you for food poisoning. Todays society you know; they are always looking for a quick buck. Make sure that you have a first aid station on hand or someone trained in that field. \nBelieve me I know it sounds like a lot of things but when you get people who are good at organizing and public speaking things are a lot simpler than you think.\n\nGOOD LUCK and WELL WISHES. Let me know how it went.

make sure you know every person attending the meeting (including their designation). be sharp to note all the important points discussed, who discussed them and at the end of each point note who has to take the point of action discussed. categorise them into sections. once drafted, recheck with individuals if you have covered all the points. then make final minutes.

just make a list of all the people you want to be involved.  send out an email to all, inviting their ideas on a certain subject.  \n\nyou could make a Yahoo! group, to help with the administration.

Rent a room, (Most hotels have meeting rooms for rent by the day) hire or invite speakers, send out a press release, tell all the ministers in your area you are having it and invite them to invite their parishinors to come. Distribute flyers to them, too.\n\nAttendance will vary; if you have a video of a speaker instead of the speaker himself/herself, it won't be as high.\nIf, to take an extreme example, the Pope was your keynote speaker you'd get more people showing up than if you were the key note speaker.\n\nYou should start planning well in advance; half a year if you expect a large number of people.\n\nThis is just a rough outline and I've left out most of the details. There are books on creating sucessful conferences, workshops and meetings. Check some out at your local library.\n\nIf you plan to charge for attending you'll probably need  a business licaence of some sort; call city hall to see about that.
