Tell Us Your Story
How has being a member of the League of Women Voters
shaped your life? There is no better way to explain the benefits of
membership than to share stories from current LWV members. As a
component to the new LWV membership recruitment initiative, a collection
of League stories will be compiled and showcased in the LWV
Storybank.
The Storybank houses wonderful stories of success
and triumph from League members across the country. We are seeking
submissions from members just like you; exceptional people 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.
The League of Women Voters is a place where hands-on
work to safeguard democracy leads to civic improvement - your work has
demonstrated this and sharing your story can inspire others to join in.
We hope that you will help us collect stories about your League's
victories, the achievements of your fellow members, and your own
personal experiences as a League member.
