This year, in response to the challenges of Covid-19, our League gave special attention to social safety net issues, like the allocation of Measure X funds, while maintaining and strengthening our community educational work and voter services programs. The Board also updated and streamlined our business practices.

The past two months as Monthly President were rewarding. The Board and Leadership team has been supportive and helpful. I learned a lot -- including about levels of LWV and how they function. The team of Melanie Speir, Anne Granlund, and Peggy Huston will be Monthly President for October and November.

LWV Diablo Valley has established a unique, new structure for our Board of Directors leadership. Instead of a single individual serving as Board President, we will operate with a group we are calling Monthly Presidents (MPs). This group of six will rotate as president during the year 2021-2022.

Considerng what it means to get involved with leadership in the Diablo Valley League? This is primarily about serving on the Board, but much of it applies to off-Board positions as well.

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your Co-President and President these last four years. It has been a time of transition and taking the initiative and facing very real challenges. Being President of the LWVDV is a strenuous role, yet it is so rewarding to be part of building a vision together and building functional teams working together to strengthen our democracy.

Our Nominating Chair has been pulling together leadership sessions to identify the work of the President and the leadership team that is essential and can be supported by volunteers in much smaller "bites".
