League News

Program Planning Outcomes on February 11, 2023

 League members gathered at Foothills Congregational Church to discuss which local issues should receive our most attention in the upcoming year. The priorities chosen were:

  • Voter Services
  • Housing and Homelessness
  • Climate Change

Interested in joining one of these committees? Email Sue Graham to connect with the committee chair.

 

 Issues not adopted may form small committees: Reproductive rights; Gun violence; Ballot language reform - referring to ballot titles; Civil discourse. Email Sue Graham if any of these issues are of interest.

 
 In addition, we were asked to suggest priorities for LWVC for the 2023-2025 biennial. We chose:
  • Climate Change/Sustainability and Water – Donna Davies liaison
  • Housing and Homelessness – Sue Russell and Kevin Ma liaison
  • Criminal Justice Reform/Reimagining Youth Justice – Ellen Wheeler liaison
 
If you were not able to join us for planning this year, the League hopes to see you next year. This is what League is about.
