Add Position
Add Position
You can create positions that align with your League's program. Create a position for each advocacy position / issue area within your League. For each position, you can specify the position's one-liner, history of changes, and related issues of focus unique to each position. As you create positions, each published position begins to dynamically fill your list of Positions. Your League's list of Positions will be found at:
- https:// my.lwv.org/state-league/local-league/positions (for local Leagues)
- https:// my.lwv.org/state-league/positions (for state Leagues)
- Note: the sections in the links above in bold are custom to your League. (e.g. The Los Angeles League webmaster would find their Positions at https://my.lwv.org/california/los-angeles/positions, while the Connecticut webmaster will find their Positions at https://my.lwv.org/connecticut/positions.)
Follow these steps along with the screenshots as your guide to create a new position.
