Civic Awareness Events (Suspended in 2024)

The League of Women Voters of Wheaton and Cantigny Park presented a Civics Awareness program from 2017 to 2024. We  had over 700 attendees at our programs that covered a variety of topics such as Campaign Finance, ERA, Fake News, Immigration, and issues before the Supreme Court. They were held at the Cantigny Park Visitors Center and the McCormick mansion. Videos are available for some of the presentations on the Civic Awareness Page and the Videos from Previous Events page. We  partnered with the Leagues of Roselle/Bloomingdale, Central Kane County, Glen Ellyn and Naperville in the final years of the Civic Awareness Series.
