By the LWV of Washington Nominating Committee

Do you have a passion for our democracy and defending it in these difficult times? Have you thought about your role in leading the LWV of Washington into the future?

If you're like me, the last few weeks have been tough. Commemorating the one-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection, watching the same violent footage, and hearing some members of the U.S. Congress defend or even deny what happened can be beyond discouraging. But I hope you are also like me and turning that discouragement into motivation to do everything possible to defend our democracy from very real threats.

Service on the state board offers an opportunity to work collaboratively toward LWVWA goals, share your League successes with other members, build your leadership skills, help set the future for the LWVWA, and expand your commitment to the League.

We have extended the application deadline through February to give you some extra time to consider applying to the LWVWA Board.

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 advocacy, voter services, civic education, communications, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

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. Whatever your background, we would like to talk to you. We seek individuals who are creative and hard-working. If this sounds like you, apply to the LWVWA Board. We also welcome your recommendations for candidates to the LWVWA Board.

More information about how you can contribute your time and talent by serving on the LWVWA Board is available on the LWVWA website. If you would like to know more, contact the Nominating Committee at nomcom@lwvwa.org.
