The Nominating Committee does not actually nominate people. You, the members, do that! And we are actively seeking recommendations now for LWVUS National Board for 2014-2016. So if you know someone you think would be a good national leader, please nominate them and help us build another great LWVUS Board!
Important dates for 2013-2014.
As a local League leader and influential voice in your community, you have a unique opportunity to speak out on important issues. That is why we need you to share the League’s point of view on a critical national issue.
There is a great debate happening in Congress and across the country regarding health care and contraception. A few weeks ago, the US Senate narrowly defeated an amendment that would have allowed insurers and employers to deny coverage based on “religious or moral objections.”

The League is one organization with three levels. Remember that you have people resources -- from volunteer colleagues such as yourself in other local Leagues to your state League and your LWVUS Board Liaisons. Sharing ideas and supporting each other between levels of the League is an important benefit of belonging to the League! Leadership in the League can be easy and fun! This publication created by the LWVUS Streamlining Committee composed of LWVUS Board Members and Staff will help you make it so.

Judy Duffy
Advocacy Committee Chair
As many of you know, I’m serving my third term on the national board, and, in addition to being first vice president, I’m chairing the Advocacy Committee. Before being asked to be on the LWVUS board, I was president of the League of Women Voters of Minnesota and served on the Developing Countries committee at the national level, as well as the Budget Committee. So I’ve had a number of opportunities to see the League from different perspectives.
