Watch the Recorded Meeting by clicking hereTo facilitate business of LWVBA, each League needed to be represented to approve steps forward. We did reach a quorum for the meeting. Voting members of the Convention included LWVBA Board members, presidents and delegates chosen by the local Bay Area Leagues. The number of delegates for each League is determined by the membership numbers transmitted from LWVUS and Article 10 of LWVBA bylaws (the latest report with delegate count is cited in the Convention kit).
