Guidelines for Multi-League Groups
WHAT IS A MULTI-LEAGUE GROUP?
Local Leagues often join together to work on problems or issues of common concern. When these problems affect regions that do not coincide with existing League boundaries, and when the need for collaboration is likely to be long-term, the Leagues involved will want to develop a method for cooperating across formal organizational lines.
The policies that follow apply to joint ventures between state and local Leagues and LWVUS or, when appropriate, LWVEF. LWVEF joint ventures must be directed toward public education.
