Who We Are. What We Do.
The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government. League influences public policy through education and advocacy. The Highland Park League was founded in 1928. The league was expanded to include Highwood in 2011.
League ... Nonpartisan since 1920
Indepence Day 2025, we walked with purpose and pride, carrying our message of Empowering Voters and Defending Democracy!
The Go Green HP Native Garden Tour was once again a resounding success! Several League members played key roles in bringing the project to life. Candice Dalrymple, our League's Environment/Climate Chair, led much of the planning and implementation - and her beautiful shady woods garden was proudly featured on the tour.

Our Annual League Meeting and Luncheon Was a Great Success!
Held on June 28th, the event brought together a wonderful turnout, with thoughtful and engaging discussion from both new and longtime members, as well as our guests.
Our luncheon speaker, Dr. Michael Lubelfeld, Superintendent of Schools for District 112, delivered a compelling and timely presentation titled "Navigating the AI Frontier in K-12: Trends, Practices, and Leadership." His insights sparked meaningful reflection on the evolving role of technology in education.
The luncheon, held in the beautiful Highland Park Trinity Church, featured delicious food from Curt’s Café, complemented by homemade treats from our members. Beautiful floral arrangements, generously provided by member Ginny Schulte, added a special touch to the setting—making it a truly memorable occasion for all who attended.
