Judith Davis has been an active League member in six states over the course of the past 34 years. She has held numerous leadership positions at both the state and local levels. In 1996, she began to concentrate on development. Since 2006, Ms. Davis has served on the Board of the League of Women Voters of the United States as Development Committee chair and a member of the Budget Committee. Prior to that, she was chair of the LWV of California Education Fund where her work opened the door to new foundation grants.

Ms. Davis began international work in 1991 when she and a League partner created a workshop to teach grassroots activism skills in the former Soviet Union. Experienced League members were taught to lead workshops, resulting in more than 200 Russian women being trained to become trainers, themselves, in just a few years. The relationships endure to this day.

This experience in Russia led to invitations (from Counterpart Consortium, Global Training for Development and the International Foundation for Election Systems) to conduct voters service and candidate debate workshops in Central Asia during the 1998-2000 period of transition to democratic national elections. Ms. Davis traveled to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to train NGO leaders, business and union leaders, political party representatives, television and print media, candidates, and elections officials

Her business experience includes work as operations manager for a software startup, pro bono public service for a high tech PR agency, and computer installation and employee training for financial institutions.

Ms. Davis attended Western Law School, the University of Arkansas Law School and holds a BA in English literature from Hendrix College.
