Bill Tieleman helped lead the anti-HST forces to victory and has crafted winning strategies for many other campaigns big and small.

It's the season -- and year -- of high stakes campaigning from municipal to federal levels. If you're going to be in the thick of it, spend five hours to get indispensable training and insight from a proven winner.

Bill Tieleman is the strategist who…

joined Bill Vander Zalm to kill the Harmonized Sales Tax in a stunning Citizens Initiative that beat big business and the BC Liberal government;

led NO BC STV to defeat the Single Transferable Vote in two province-wide referenda;

helped Glen Clark as communications director in his upset 1996 NDP win over Gordon Campbell;

and has been central to dozens of successful elections, nominations and leadership fights at the provincial, federal and municipal level, as well as single-issue campaigns.

Now Bill will tell you how to win against all odds with minimal resources but superior strategy, tactics and messaging.

Whether you are involved in a civic election, provincial battle, federal fight, nomination challenge or issue campaign, you and your cause will benefit from Tieleman's invaluable insights on what it takes for victory -- without big dollar budgets.

Agree or disagree with his positions, Bill Tieleman knows what it takes to be the winner -- and will tell you what you need to succeed.

In The Tyee's beautiful new downtown classroom, you will have an opportunity to huddle with Bill and discuss the specifics of your campaign; break down case studies element by element, and take home materials that will help guide your efforts. The fee is $200 and lunch and a splash of B.C. wine is included.

The last time we offered a version of this class is sold out quickly. In order to make the session productive for all, we have limited it to a small group. That means space is limited so don’t delay. Register today.  [Tyee]
