What's in a Name? Help Us Name the Members Site!

We have taken the first steps toward a new, dynamic members’ website resource built just for League members and Leaders! The new and improved site – it deserves a good name! Unlike Shakespeare, we don’t think this particular rose will smell as sweet with just any name. So, come share your ideas in the “What’s in a Name?” game.

  • Barbara Grosh

    | Sara Sanders
    "I've been so impressed with the people I meet through the League. They are so down-to-earth and hard-working. No big ego trips, no holier-than-thou political correctness. Just really well-informed people who are in it for the long haul."

  • Charlotte Faris

    | Sara Sanders
    "I decided then and there to join the League which in fact did "get into" matters of local and national concern. They did not disappoint."

  • Nikole Wolfe

    | Sara Sanders
    "Working with my local league has enabled me to meet some remarkable people, gain leadership skills and become a better public speaker. I wouldn’t trade my League experience for anything."

  • Clint Weirick

    | Sara Sanders
    "Many times local issues in my community don't get the focus and attention they need to genuinely educate and engage the public on them...including me! Public forums my local League conducts make me feel a true personal connection to local issues and candidates."

    "Our LWV unit has been behind many positive changes, including getting women to run for office and elected to serve! We are appreciated and looked to as change agents for the greater good."

  • Shayna Howell

    | Sara Sanders
    "I decided to join the League to contribute a small amount of money to their civic engagement efforts. Five years later, I know how important the League is to registering voters, but even more importantly they are a source of unbiased information when it can be hard to find."
