Dear League Leaders,
Are you on the "Brandwagon"?
Face to Face was first published by the League in 1996 as a guide to help Leagues sponsor and produce effective, fair and interesting candidate debates. This publication was updated in 2007 but has not been revised in recent years. While the information on the processes for creating fair debates still offers good guidance, due to changes in laws since that time, you'll find some of the information is out dated. Please use this handbook as a reference, but do not solely rely on its contents. Please make sure to check the laws in your state and look at other documents on the LWVU
If so, you should download one of the attached files. The standard version includes the League of Women Voters Name and the registered mark on the name. The Standalone is just the Logo with the registered mark. Remember to tell your designer that the registered mark should be on the name if it is included with the logo.
The following is the response from the LWVUS to the LWVCT Memo on Sustainability of the LWV vs Current Financial Structure. The response hightlights the areas of agreement with the LWVCT memo and the ways the LWVUS has addressed these concerns in recent years. The response also includes the points of disagreements and references two analyses that formed the basis for several non-PMP decisions in the 2011 budget and the proposed budgets for 2012-2013 and 2013-2014.
Below is a visual depiction of the current funding model of the League at all levels.

Dear League Leaders,
Don’t sacrifice any of your parts! For your League to be healthy, various components must be individually healthy. If you have a toothache you do not care much about the other parts of your healthy body system, and similarly if your feet are “killing you” the rest is diminished in importance.
What’s your “sore spot”? Recruiting members? Retention? Finances? Getting volunteers? Leadership? Am I close?
