Around the League
LWVWA Program of Work: What’s Happening
Studies, updates, and concurrences are all important elements of the League’s Program of Work. Studies lead to new positions for the League, at all levels of our organization. They require a lot of effort on the part of study committee members and the state board so there is always the question: are they worth the effort?
Statement on Moore v. Harper Supreme Court Arguments
This fall, the LWVWA joined with the LWV of the United States and League chapters from all 50 states and D.C. to file an amicus brief in the Moore v. Harper case focusing on the massive implications of the Independent State Legislature Theory for every state and on the future of American democracy.
The Benefits of Joining the LWVWA Board
Knowing that The Evergreen Voter is designed for League members as well as an audience outside of LWVWA, here are some general comments about board work from the perspective of a second year of recruiting board members.
LWV Snohomish County Comes Through for Voters
A good project offers three things: an objective that achieves a vision, clear direction, and focused action within a manageable timeframe. The Snohomish Auditor’s office provided the League with a really good project when they asked if LWV Snohomish wanted to help “cure” ballots.
