LWV Mt Baldy Area Observers 2019

The Observers are the eyes and ears of the League. Above:  Some of the 2019 Observer Corps 

These members attend regular and special meetings of local governmental bodies, without participating, and then report to the Board about issues under consideration at these meetings and how they relate to the League's existing positions.  They also present their observations to the membership.  Their reports are forwarded to the local government group they observe.
