2023 Program Planning Proposal
Well… we have a lot to consider as we determine our program priorities for 2023 and provide feedback to LWV California (LWVC) on their priorities. LWVC Executive Director, Stephanie Douty, gave us a remarkable overview of LWVC work when she spoke to our gathering at Rock Creek Winery. And… the LWVC website shows how they have focused their energies in 2022.
