Outreach Officer Basics

✸ ✸ ✸ ✸ ✸

The Outreach & Inclusion Officer is a core leadership role within the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, grounded in the DFL Constitution, Bylaws, the Official Call, and the State Affirmative Action, Outreach, and Inclusion Plan. This role exists to ensure equitable participation, meaningful engagement, and sustained inclusion across all party processes.

This page provides practical tools, model documents, and training resources to help officers carry out those responsibilities effectively. The materials below are designed to support both compliance with governing documents and strong, locally grounded organizing that builds long-term participation and leadership.

Spring of 2026 Outreach Officer Basics Training Sessions

The Outreach and Inclusion Committee is currently facilitating Outreach Officer 101: Basics & Overview trainings on the third Thursday of each month through May. These sessions will help newly elected Outreach & Inclusion Officers (and Vice Chairs in units without Outreach Officers) understand their roles, authority, and effective strategies for success.

The training prepares participants to meet the formal expectations set by DFL governing documents, with a focus on inclusive leadership and practical examples from units across the state. The goal is to ensure newly elected Outreach Officers (or returning ones) can hit the ground running with confidence and be ready to lead intentional, inclusive organizing in their communities.
