Please join the American Association of University Women Deerfield Area for a look at the important work of our friend, Rosemary Heilemann, who founded a local League of Women Voters committee in 2017 to educate the public about why we should abolish the electoral college by Constitutional amendment. Her committee includes members from Illinois Leagues as well as Leagues from many other states, and lead to the League of Women Voters of the United States identifying the abolition of the electoral college by Constitutional amendment as a “next big goal” in June 2022. The committee continues to work with LWVUS as a resource for that national campaign.

Rosemary Heilemann is a retired teacher who has been a member of the League of Women Voters for 45 years in Illinois. She serves on the board of her local League, LWV Deerfield/Lincolnshire, and is active in other levels of League, including the Lake County League and the Illinois League’s state committees. She has also served in off-board roles for the LWV Lake Michigan Region ILO and the LWV Upper Mississippi River Region ILO. She has been a moderator for candidate forums throughout the area, has chaired studies, and acts as Zoom host for meetings and webinars.
