At the LWVWA 2021Convention, the delegates approved a change to the bylaws creating staggered terms for the LWVWA Board of Directors. This change affects when we elect specific positions to the Board. At the LWVWA 2022 Council, we will elect the offices of 1st vice president, treasurer, and four director positions. At the LWVWA 2023 Convention, we will elect the president, 2nd vice president, secretary, three director positions, and three Nominating Committee members. In the past, all positions were elected at the LWVWA Convention. Moving forward, the Nominating Committee will ask for nominations and applications every year for positions on the Board.  

The current Nominating Committee has begun the process of seeking nominations and applications for the LWVWA 2022 Council.  We are seeking nominations for both a vacant director’s seat that is appointed to serve until the 2022 Council 2022 and for the 2022 Council slate. 

We want to hear from our membership and supporters! Do you know someone who would make a great LWVWA Board member? Let us know! 

We are looking for individuals who are: 

• Dedicated to the League’s mission, “Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy.” 

• Committed to the LWVWA’s strategic plan, our nonpartisan policy, our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, advocacy, voter services, civic education, and communications. The position serves on both the LWV of Washington Education Fund (c3) and LWV of Washington (c4) Boards. 

We encourage individuals with varying work and volunteer experiences to apply. Those with experience in government, business, philanthropy, nonprofit work, or volunteer organizations should apply. We seek individuals who are creative and hard-working.  

If this sounds like you, or if you would like to know more, contact the Nominating Committee. If you know someone you would recommend, let us know by filling out the Candidate Suggestion form.
