Advocacy Committee
Advocacy Committee
The Advocacy Committee exists to promote awareness and action on League positions and issues. This is achieved in numerous ways. When applicable, action alerts from National, State, and local Leagues are published on our website and in the monthly Voter newsletter. An advocacy component on relevant topic issues and/or current events are featured at every League Day. In addition, we actively collaborate with the League committees to educate them on the legislative process, identifying effective ways in which to advocate and develop target messaging skills.

Observer Corps Committee serves as the League's "eyes and ears" in government by:
Observing public meetings of governmental bodies on behalf of the League.
Monitoring compliance with open meeting laws and public transparency requirements.
Reporting factual information about actions, discussions, and emerging issues.
Coordinating with policy committees to identify issues that may relate to League positions or warrant further study or referral to the Advocacy Director.
Promote public accountability by maintaining a visible League presence at meetings.
