Consider being a League Observer 

Please take time to attend this Observer Orientation:

Our Director of Observers, Caroline Langen, and experienced Observer Debra Barger will go over what League observers do, why we do it, and answer your questions. 

Current observers, we hope you will come as well!

We would appreciate a reply to let us know if you are planning to attend or, of course, if you have any questions. Thank you!

*A League Observer attends the meetings of a selected local government agency – as a rule, in person and identified with a badge as a League Observer.  The observer keeps an eye out for violations of the Brown Act and for any issues that the League may want to make a statement about or simply be aware of.  Observers do not participate in the meetings or make statements on behalf of the League.  Observers pass on any concerns or information of interest to League leadership.  They come together about once a year to compare notes.  Being an Observer is an excellent way to learn about the workings of local government and track the actions of an agency you may have a particular interest in.
