Hello, Democracy supporters!

I hope that each of you has received the "What You Can Do" email messages. They are created by a League team with the intent of giving League members and the broad community simple actions we can take EVERY DAY to object to the anti-democratic and questionably legal activities going on in our national government. Share them with your networks. If anybody would like to be added to the email list, send their name and email address to info [at] lwv-alachua.org.

The primary message of this Voter is to ask for your help with positions that need a volunteer in the administrative year beginning July 2025. Some leaders who did the organizing during a successful election season are ready to step down. There are open positions that form the basic infrastructure of our League. Other positions are the niches that make our League exceptionally effective.

Please put on your thinking cap as you read each entry to see what you can do or maybe you know somebody who could help. We need to identify volunteers now to provide a smooth transition in June/July.

Positions are organized as board and non-board positions. Board positions are officers and standing committee chairs. They have a vote on decisions. Non-board positions are administrative or ad hoc chairs. They participate in discussions but do not have a vote on decisions.

I want to be really clear. After June, I will not accept the title or role of President, even if there is no replacement. Life led me to be president of the League to serve our community through the 2024 election. That is accomplished. Gladly, I will assume the title of Past President, per the bylaws, and provide guidance as needed to my successor. I look forward to continuing League work and having time to work on other interests.
