Campaign Management
Let's face it.  No candidate is in any race to lose, thus, they need to surround themselves with politically educate, astute and media savvy individuals who clearly understand that strategy is merely the first step in a campaign.

Some candidates tend to surround themselves with friends who will not correct them when poor campaign decisions are being made. Others have campaigns made up entirely of armchair critics who may or may not actively get off their duffs and work. At the Progressive Group for Independent Business (PGIB) we know what it takes to win and we also know that the Candidate is the product and must be surrounded by capable people who are not just yes men.

In today's day and age, volunteers are hard to come by and our trained professionals in Volunteer Recruitment and Management can attract and keep the necessary foot soldiers for victory.

We can (for a fee) get your campaign organized and more importantly mobilized for victory!
