Nominiations Deadline 2026

League of Women Voters of Wheaton — Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee of the League of Women Voters of Wheaton (LWVW) invites all voting members to participate in selecting our next slate of leaders.

We are seeking nominations and self-nominations for upcoming vacancies on the LWVW Board of Directors, including officer and director positions.

The League of Women Voters of Wheaton is proud to sponsor Declaration 1776: The Big Bang of Modern Democracy, a traveling panel exhibition from the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, as our community marks the United States’ Semiquicentennial. As we approach America’s 250th birthday, this exhibit invites our community to revisit the bold ideals of the Declaration—and to reflect on how each generation has worked to expand the promise of democracy.
