Obama Field Organizers Hold Post Election Conference Calls

20 Nov 2008 06:20 pm

Obama's political team wants the advice of its field organizers to figure out what happens to the movement they've built. There are so many senior field organizers that the Obama campaign had to organize five days of conferences with four simultaneous calls per conference.

Here's an e-mail forwarded by one field organizer:

Dear Field Organizers:

Congratulations again to all of you!  Thank you for the contribution you made building this movement and electing Senator Obama the next President of the United States.  You are the reason we have come this far.   Let me make that clear: YOU are the reason Barack Obama is assembling a team of people to run our government right now.  YOU are the reason we have and will continue to change the world.

As a part of the transition process, we are completing a thorough analysis of the campaign and are seeking your input on where we should go from here.  In order to do this, we are setting up a series of one hour conference calls starting this Friday, November 21st through Tuesday, November 25th.  You will be joined by up to 9 other Field Organizers from throughout the country for this discussion which will be led by a facilitator from the campaign. 

I'm asking that each of you sign up for one of these calls online by the end of the day this Thursday.  Just  click on the links below to rsvp for a call (each day has multiple calls you can attend.  They are set up as MyBo events - do not worry about the "location" of the calls.  We had to put a city in there to make it a MyBo event). The conference call information is all provided online.  Thank you for your participation in this important process.  Look forward to hearing from each one of you. 


All call times are listed in Central Standard Time

[Note: Each time slot has four calls happening simultaneously. If a call is full for the time at which you'd like to participate, simply scroll down to sign up for another call at that time]

This is your chance to tell us what you think of your experience as an Organizer on the campaign and what you think should happen with this movement going forward.  We will also update you on the transition at the beginning of the calls to make sure you are looped in on where things stand. 

In solidarity,
