Nominations for National Board - Deadline September 30!
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!
This redesigned membership brochure is for state and local Leagues to use in recruiting new members. Make sure your members are tooled to ask people to join! Professionally printed copies can be ordered from LWV Publication Sales (sold in bundles of 50) and a downloadable PDF version is available below. (2012)
This 2010 Convention workshop focused on fiscal issues encountered by local and state Leagues. It provided information on what kinds of procedures Leagues should have in place to protect your League's funds: financial authorizations, record keeping, separation of responsibilities, audits. Participants will also learn about how Education Funds can be used to strengthen your League: appropriate uses and, if your League does not have an Education Fund account, how you can access the services of the national League's Education Fund.
All Leagues that receive less than $25,000 in income must file an e-postcard return (also known as Form 990N) every year. The only exceptions are Leagues that are included in their state League’s group return or that file the more complicated Form 990 or 990-EZ. Most Leagues have successfully completed the form, though some have not.
If your League hasn’t filed the online form yet, please do so immediately. Leagues that haven’t filed during the last three years may lose their tax exemption on May 15th 2010.
WHAT IS A BLOG?
1. Do you support efforts to increase transparency and provide more information to the public through such steps as requiring disclosure and quick reporting of all election-related spending?
2. What can you do to help improve civic discourse and reduce the level of rancor and partisan bickering in national politics?
3. What are your major priorities for the 112th Congress?
A handy worksheet that lists ten essential elements of an effective fundraising letter, and allows you to rate how well your letter fulfills each element, is available in PDF format below.
1. Think in terms of fund development rather than fundraising.
2. Individuals should be your primary targets for securing support.
