All actions of the League of Women Voters are based on established positions, at the national, state or local level.

The current state study is the product of a statewide study committee updating the existing position on Meeting Basic Human Needs. It has not been updated since 1995.

Local leagues are charged with examining and reaching agreement on areas of the position and reporting to the state study committee. The state board will analyze and develop a final League position that reflects member agreement reports from local Leagues. The position will then be announced to members and the public and be available as the basis for action.

The Study Committee has developed a list of questions for discussion and a collection of academic research and articles on issues involved in the position. This material has been emailed to all League members and is also available in readable hard copy at the Lawrence Public Library. You can prepare yourself for the discussion by at least scanning the provided materials. 

Please come to the meeting and add your voice to this vital League activity!
