Democratic GAIN wants to give a special CONGRATULATIONS to Steve Schwartz for winning the Campaigns & Elections magazine's Reed Award for Best Mentor/Boss last week!

Steve is the Finance Director at the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center and truly deserves this honor.

Steve, and those who nominated him, remind us that being a good mentor is one of the most important things an experience professional can do. In order to build on our current successes, or movement relies on mentors to share their knowledge, experiences and advice with the next generation so they are fully equipped to carry on the torch.

Democratic GAIN thanks all of those professionals who take the time and effort to truly be mentors.
