Why and how can you join our grassroots organization?

Who Are The Members?

Membership in the League of Women Voters, the most respected and effective grassroots organization in the country, is open to men and women age 16 and older. Our members make a visible difference by serving as community leaders using their experience to create positive, lasting change in our communities.

Why Should I Join?

Through participation in League projects, you will:

  • contribute valuable service to the community
  • gain knowledge and experience through the study and discussion of timely and important topics
  • discover new interests, develop new skills and learn about crucial issues in your community
  • make professional contacts and develop lasting friendships as you meet others in League who share your interests

How Much Time Does It Take?

It's up to you! Many members choose to support the League only with their annual dues. Your membership alone gives us the political influence needed to build a voice for citizens and a force for change. We cover a broad spectrum of issues and concerns; you may choose to become involved in one or more of them by actively participating in a group study, or listening to a panel of experts at a meeting or just reading about them in one of our publications.

What Do I Get?

You automatically become a member of LWV Michigan, LWV Lake Michigan Region and LWV of the United States. You will receive their publications along with the eNewsletter from the Leelanau County League of Women Voters called The Leelanau County Voter which is published monthly, plus email updates on upcoming events and important reminders. You will have the knowledge that you are adding your voice to a powerful force of members from all 50 states, Washington DC and the Virgin Islands.

How Do I Join or Renew My Membership?

Beginning February 1, 2025, LWVUS, LWVMI, and LWVLC (all state and all local Leagues) will begin a new procedure for paying dues. Each person will have to log on to the LWV.org to register and pay dues (exceptions can be made for those without use of the internet).

Dues will be collected on a “pay what you can” model with a minimum of $20.00 and a recommended amount of $75. LWV will have only two classes of membership: Individual (so all members are equal) and Life (those who have belonged for 50 years and pay no dues).
