The League Storybank
The Storybank is full of wonderful stories of success and triumph from League members across the country. We are seeking submissions from members just like you; exceptional women who have exceptional stories. Stories should highlight the value of membership in the League, particularly personal stories of achievement and leadership. LWVUS will be collecting and posting them on the national Web site, sharing them with members of the media, and encouraging other League members to submit stories and promote the Storybank as well.
