Join the annual Program Planning Meeting Sunday, February 16 at 2:30 to 4:00 PM.  This is when we propose education and advocacy priorities for Berkeley, Albany, Emeryville and the California League.  Come join us on Zoom to make these decisions. In order to vote on priorities, you have to be a current member of the League. Join Here: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88182578663.

Annual Program Planning meetings in every League let members bring their ideas and discuss them with League colleagues.  In alternating years, we discuss National or State League programming.  This year is State.  Is there a policy area where you think the State League should be active?

LWV-CALIFORNIA

The state League asks for our input on three issues for emphasis — those for which we will spend effort on education and/or advocacy.

LWV-BERKELEY, ALBANY, EMERYVILLE

Where should our local League invest most of its effort – which three issues for emphasis will be our focus?

Preparation is Essential

If you feel strongly about an issue, spend some time preparing a brief and persuasive proposal. Your proposal should include:

• Why is the proposed issue important?
• What role does the League play in uniquely having impact and moving the issue forward?
• What are the League positions that support taking action?
• Who will work on it?
• What is the plan forward?

If you’d like to know more about the program planning process for the State League, see their website.

Now is your opportunity to influence our League’s direction!
