Leslie Stewart, LWVDV Communications Chair

The LWVDV Communications Team was formed after the Board retreat and has worked hard throughout the election season. We agreed to focus on Twitter to get out the word about election activities, and after a great trainng led by Patti Mitchell, a local social media expert, Diane Bianchi tweeted about National Voter Registration Day, Tammy Moulton tweeted about candidate forums, Marian Shostrom tweeted about Voter’s Edge, and Lauren Babb tweeted about everything else, including re-tweeting posts from other Leagues and the county Elections Department.

Meanwhile, Nancy Thursby posted on our Facebook page and got some nice “likes” and shares, including from candidates — and she live-streamed our September Pros & Cons meeting on Facebook, a first! Arlynda Huerta, our allround tech-savvy guru, introduced the team to Instagram. Our team meetings are done online with Zoom. With our new website, we feel we’ve really increased LWVDV visibility this year. Thanks to everyone for working so hard!
