Nominating Committee Wants to Hear From You

Each year the terms of about half of the members of the League’s Board of Directors expire.


People elected to fill these positions would serve from June 2024 until June 2026.


The LWVO Nominating Committee invites members and friends of the League to share with them ideas about potential League leaders.


Would you be interested in one of these positions? Do you know a League member, or someone interested in becoming a League member, who might consider serving on the Board of Directors?


People who serve on the League’s Board of Directors participate in strategic planning and setting organizational goals that guide the League’s work to fulfill its mission:

v To encourage informed and active participation in government,
