What are the benefits of membership?

When you become a League member, your dues will connect you with a network of grassroots leaders at the local, state, AND national levels. When you join the League of Women Voters of Diablo Valley, you are also joining the League of Women Voters of the Bay Area, the League of Women Voters of California and the League of Women Voters of the United States! A major portion of your annual dues goes to each of these organizations. 

Through participation in League projects, you will:
  • Contribute valuable service to the community
  • Gain knowledge and experience through the study and discussion of timely and important topics
  • Discover new interests, develop new skills and learn about crucial issues in your community
  • Make professional contacts and develop lasting friendships as you meet others in League who share your interests
  • Have the opportunity to participate in local, state, and national League work
  • Know that your membership dues add to our grassroots strength and our financial resources

How much time commitment does membership require?

It's up to you! Many members choose to support the League only with their annual dues. Your membership alone gives us the political influence needed to build a voice for citizens and a force for change. We cover a broad spectrum of issues and participate in a wide variety of activities. You may choose to become actively involved in one or more of our committees or projects, depending on your time and interests.

LWVDV regularly offers new member orientation sessions you can attend to learn more about the League and the volunteer opportunities available. Contact us at membership [at] lwvdv.org for more details.
