Event Description
MORNING OPEN HOUSE
Starting at 10AM, you’ll be able to stroll among tables and learn about all the things we’re up to and need help with.
LUNCH WITH A PURPOSE
Lunch will be served at noon. Connect with people you met at the open house in the morning or reconnect with members you haven't seen for a while.
At 12:30, we’ll introduce League in Action, a phone app that LWVUS provides to us. The deadline for voters to choose a party and be able to vote in primaries in 2024 will be a few days away (Feb. 14). There will be lots of primaries this year: presidential, congressional, assembly and senate! We’ll use the League in Action app to send texts from our phones to people in our own contact lists to remind them to pick (or change) a party and give them info on what that means and how to do it. In a few moments, you can reach a lot of people.
PROGRAM PLANNING
At 1PM, we'll turn to program planning. In League terms, choosing our priorities for educational and lobbying work is called program planning. The LWV is a grass-roots organization where work at every level is driven by the local Leagues. This meeting is the chance for our members to give our feedback to the national board as they make plans for the coming biennial (2024-2026). What issues are close to your heart?
