My participation in the 2014 National LWV Convention had an enormous impact on my perception of the organization. Although I have been hugely impressed and yes, at times intimidated by the wealth of knowledge and determination of the Hudson league members when I first joined, my experience in Dallas made me realize what a powerful, energizing force the many combined, local league chapters really represent. This American grass root organization promotes true, bi-partisan, democratic values and continues the suffragist's legacy by challenging today's threats to democracy and the environment on an ongoing basis with the true conviction of well-informed activist members.
