Who Are the Members?
Membership in the League of Women Voters, one of the most respected and effective grassroots organization in the country, is open to men and women ages 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 with their annual dues. Your membership alone gives us the political influence needed to build a voice for citizens and a force for change. The League covers 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 of Iowa and LWV of the United States. You will receive their publications along with the monthly newsletter, “The Voter,” from the Johnson County League of Women Voters. You will have the knowledge that you are adding your voice to a powerful force of members from all 50 states. Learn more about the LWVIA Iowa membership here.
What is the membership fee?
Annual dues are $70 for an individual, $105 for a family, and $20 for a student. This gives membership in LWVJC, as well as, LWVIA and LWVUS.
A portion of our modest dues helps to support a lobbyist at the state level and enables the League’s national efforts. Dues are not tax deductible; however, the League welcomes tax-deductible contributions to pay for our educational projects.
Do I have to join in order to attend League of Women Voters events?
Most of our events are free and open to the general public. We’d love to see you there, and it will give you a chance to see what the League has to offer members. Please check our calendar to see which events are open.
