We're excited to bring the Commonwealth Seminar to Lowell, MA for a special, intensive, one-day session where students will learn the "essentials" about:
- The legislative & budgetary processes,
- Lobbying/advocacy
- Working with the legislature, state & non-profit agencies and other governmental entities, and...
- Press & media relations
This special, one-day session will be held
next Saturday, July 29th from 10am-5pm at the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association(CMAA - 465 School Street, Lowell MA)
(... Note: fee waivers available upon request)
A number of our suburban community partners have mentioned their desire to participate in the Seminar, but noted the difficulty in commuting the required six-consecutive weeks into Boston.
It is our hope that this intensive, one-day version of our Seminar will help provide participants some of the "essentials" to help navigate & influence the decision making process at the local, state and federal levels.
A huge "thank you!" to our generous community partners at the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association for hosting us, and a huge "thank you!" to: Seminar alumnus, O. Sophia Johansson, Seminar Administrator (and alum!), Emily Torres-Cullinane, and Seminar Intern (and alum!), Lily Tang for their hard work, tireless commitment and persistence in putting this event together for the community.
We hope you can join us, next Saturday, in Lowell!

About the Commonwealth Seminar
The Commonwealth Seminar is a privately funded, non-partisan program with the mission of "opening the doors of government to everyone".
With over 1,200 graduates since our inception in 2003, we offer an intensive training program focused on teaching diverse leaders how the Massachusetts Legislature really works to under serviced and under-represented communities.
Top state legislators, legislative staff, media members, and administration policymakers will introduce seminar participants to the Legislature and state government generally. By giving an insiders' view of the process, our goal is to encourage diverse leaders to become effective advocates and to pursue careers in public service.
Who Should Apply?
We are looking for leaders from communities of color and immigrant communities; and people working to directly benefit them. We place a high value on creating a seminar class that is diverse racially, ethnically, and geographically.
Successful candidates for the Commonwealth Seminar will have a basic understanding of state government and a clear desire to use the skills learned through the seminar to make positive change.
Acceptance to the seminar is decided through a competitive process. Commonwealth Seminar staff and advisers will make all final decisions about the makeup of the seminar.
