A few tips:
Create a platform (What are your aims and principles?)

Create literature based on this platform. Distribute this during caucusing. Be sure to include your experience, platform, any endorsements and other pertinent information. (It helped me to make a slogan.) Put together a campaign team (non-delegate(s) and non-District Board members) to introduce you during the Caucus Sessions. Ask your home club for an endorsement, as they are only club that can endorse you. An endorsement means that your home club approves your candidacy, but does not guarantee a vote. Unanimously endorsed may only be listed if 100% of the votes at your club meeting approved your endorsement.
