Teams

The Vice-President is responsible for program planning. Join the team to help plan and execute these programs.

You can help educate members on advocating for League positions, collaborate on opportunities for group advocacy activities, and brainstorm new ways to use our resources to boost member advocacy and advocacy effectiveness. We do not currently have an advocacy chair. If you are interested in becoming the chair, please email the president.

Staying connected with our members and empowering voters with credible, nonpartisan information are the priorities for this team. Some of the ways we do this include: email updates, The VOTER monthly newsletter, our website, social media, press releases and supporting other committees' marketing and publicity efforts.

Membership works as a team to recruit, engage and retain members. It manages membership data. It provides orientation resources for new members, mentoring experiences and new member orientation events. It also provides greeters and welcome tables at League meetings.

Voter Information provides accurate and unbiased information to the public. In addition to written information for voters, this group provides candidate forums, candidate meet-and-greet activities, legislative forums, and other group activities relating to elections in the community.

Our volunteers staff voter registration education tables at high schools, colleges, retirement homes, civic events, businesses, and food pantries. The League encourages voters who have moved since the last election to update their voter registration with their new address.

League members can participate in Great Decisions, a national, grassroots foreign policy discussion program. They use the Great Decisions Briefing Book, produced annually by the Foreign Policy Association, which contains articles on eight thought-provoking global issues currently facing Americans. The Briefing Book can be ordered from the International Relations Council for delivery in January. The group typically meets at Oak Park Library biweekly from February through May. See the schedule of topics. Meetings are announced in The VOTER.

This is a good place to begin your initial engagement in League activities. Hospitality works with members to provide refreshments at the general meetings. You can contribute a treat for one or more meetings, help serve treats or organize Hospitality needs.

Be the eyes and ears of the League. Check the Observer Corps Webpage for more information.

Help LWVJoCo offer interesting and nonpartisan presentations to community groups and gatherings on a wide range of timely topics.
