LWV Appelton-Fox Cities wins first place for MENTOR Award

July 8, 2023

Each year, a first and second place winner are selected for the MLD Award (now called the MENTOR Award). Applicants must demonstrate how they’ve grown and strengthened membership participation, become more visible in the community, supported and recruited leadership, and included DEI into their work and programming. 

LWV Appleton-Fox Cities took home first place this year because: 

  • The League changed all use of the term “committee” to “team” to better connotate collaboration and working together

  • Their e-newsletter, The Informed Voter, has a 60% open rate, indicating how valuable and relevant the information is to recipients

  • The Appleton-Fox Cities Executive Action Team brought together community activists to hold bi-monthly meetings to discuss issues facing the community

  • They have a thriving Observer Corps, and

  • The League created a “Women’s Action Coalition” to amplify the work of their partner organizations

 

This is just to name a few! Congrats again, LWV Appleton-Fox Cities.
