Local Positions & Priorities planning meeting April 17
focuses on our Kent positions
Join fellow LWV Kent members as we gather at Kent Social Services for the All Member Meeting on Monday, April 17, 7 p.m., to discuss local positions and priorities for LWV Kent. Read the LWV Kent positions, click here.
It is important for all of our members to know where the League stands on issues as a local organization. New members will find it helpful to learn more about our League and the state League by attending these meetings.
Here is how the process works. First, we review the current positions. Then we decide whether we think the positions are still relevant, need updated or should be dropped. Next, we consider whether we want to take an official stand on any new issues. It is important to note, however, that any new positions must be preceded by the completion of a study before the position can be voted on and adopted.
At the local level, the LWV Kent board finalizes the results from the meeting in April and then places them on the agenda for the League's Annual Meeting in June, at which time the members vote on what the board has presented.
