LWVRI - Providence
The League of Women Voters Providence serves the city of Providence and the surrounding area. It is one of the oldest Leagues in the country. It was chartered in 1919, very shortly after the League of Women Voters was created as a division of the National American Women Suffrage Association at the NAWSA convention in St. Louis, MO March 1919.
Besides holding our own Conversation series and the Lippitt House Discussions, the Providence League is actively pursuing improved funding for Public Libraries and monitoring School Building Repairs. In addition, we would like to start an Education Observer Corps. The Providence School Board meets the second Wednesday of the month. If interested, contact Liz Head emhead603 [at] hotmail.com.
