Program Planning Recommendations 

League program is the education and advocacy platform that the League of Women Voters adopts during each biennial Convention to move our mission forward. Find the proposed program on the Convention website, along with details.  

An email listserv has been created for Leagues proposing studies and concurrences to post information on their proposals and for all League members to review and engage in discussion. League members may join the listserv (groups.io) here. For any questions concerning program, email progplan [at] lwv.org
