Academy of Campaign Management Exigency (ACME), a non-partisan national consulting organization, is established to train, educate, and coach those who run for office, or are involved in political campaigns;
working to advance leadership at all levels of political participation and empowering individuals to stand up for issues of critical importance to the constituents.
Mission
ACME understands the importance of education, especially at the earliest stages of the candidates’ race, when that basic knowledge is most needed. From School Boards to Legislative Assemblies, to Parliament, responsible citizens are needed at all levels to make a positive impact in their communities.
ACME is uncompromising in its vision of more knowledgeable and responsible representatives at all levels of government and is willing to challenge the status quo to achieve it. Our diverse nation is in urgent need of real representation, and the representatives must be at the decision-making tables.
Value Proposition
ACME builds champions who understand that our policies as a nation are stronger and smarter when represented by the full population.
They believe in true representation and opportunity for all people and the problems their families face everyday.
Who Benefits From ACME
ACME accepts candidates, parties, and individuals, regardless of their political affiliations, and provides one-on-one and/or group training to those who believe in true representation of their constituents in whatever way that is helpful.
ACME provides comprehensive training and coaching for those who are involved in campaigns, when that education is needed most; teaching them on what can and cannot be done from the start without sugar-coating the priorities.
Who Hires ACME
To run a successful campaign is like operating a business; one must consider a number of variables such as budget, staff, timing, location, etc., not to mention the efficiency of the people who are involved in the campaign.
Someone with experience can reduce unnecessary waste of time and money, and increase the quality of campaigns, helping candidates to focus on campaigning, fundraising, and reaching out more efficiently to their constituents.
ACME provides services for those who want to have hands on support to obtain information immediately to resolve challenges in their campaigns. ACME can advise, manage, set up, arrange, and adjust existing systems, as well as develop a brand new approach for those who need one.
ACME utilizes its resources to find the most accurate answers and solutions to the challenging scenarios its clients might face. Canada, its ten Provinces, three Territories, and a large number of Municipalities, each have different sets of compliance rules that make it almost impossible for any entity to technically assist every candidate’s requirements.
Education
ACME teaches the participant to realize that discrimination affects almost all candidates in their campaign, and prepares them to deal with it, in order to reduce damage at the polls.
Training
ACME offers unique opportunities for emerging candidates, providing them the type of close, personal experience they need while running for office at all levels of government,
whether it’s their first time out for a School Board position or they are preparing to serve in Ottawa, and anything in between.
The seminars are designed to provide participants with the information they need to run successful projects from the very beginning.
Workshops
ACME provides opportunities for the participants to practice and experience the good, the bad, and the ugly reactions of their conduct and communication, giving them a chance for adjustments, before applying them in the real world!
Sharing
ACME invites individuals to get together in small groups to exchange their experiences with each other, making friends, pointing each other to different resources.
