This Spring, Continue to Grow a Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive League
The hustle and bustle of spring brings with it lots of League activity. Here are some resources to support diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in your League’s planning and activities. Find more DEI resources on the League Management site.
Growing our organization’s DEI increases our power and ensures that anyone who subscribes to our principles and policies has a place in the League.

LWVUS 2022 Convention Registration, Training, and More
Registration is open for the LWVUS 2022 Convention, June 23-June 27 in Denver, Colorado, and online. This is the national League’s first hybrid convention, so be sure to register for the 2022 National Convention today.
Program Planning forms have been submitted and Leagues may want to review the program planning process as we head into the convention. You can listen to recordings of two program planning webinars: Program Planning 101 and Program Planning 102. Leagues that want to promote related items, including concurrences and studies, can send materials to cdavis@lwv.org and CC progplan@lwv.org. You can also view the concurrences (you do not need to join the group to view the documents, but if you wish to participate in any discussion, join the LWVUS 2022 Convention Program Planning group page).
2022 Preconvention Training
Black Voters Matter will be joining the League on Thursday, June 23 to provide training on how to lean into conflict. More details will be available soon. This session will be made available to in-person and virtual attendees. Black Voters Matter's goal is to increase power in marginalized, predominantly Black communities. Effective voting allows a community to determine its own destiny. We agree with the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. when he said, “Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” Read more about the session.
Determining Your Convention Delegate Count
All Leagues are invited to bring delegates to Convention. Delegates are charged with debating and voting on the business items brought to plenary. Every local League is entitled to at least one delegate, and every state League is entitled to at least three delegates. When a League’s membership reaches 50 voting members, the League shall be entitled to one additional delegate. More information can be viewed here.
Board Recommended Program for FY22-FY24
The LWVUS board is recommending the re-adoption of the Campaign for Making Democracy Work as the LWV program for 2022-24. More than 300 Leagues participated in the LWVUS program planning process, and all Leagues voted that the LWVUS should continue prioritizing this campaign in the next biennium. Leagues had the opportunity to indicate another position or policy that the LWVUS should work on. Staff will use those recommendations to shape the watchdog issues for the LWVUS to respond to if issues come up related to those topics. The Program Planning Committee will host a webinar on May 5, 1 p.m. PT (registration details to follow) to explain in more detail the proposed program, including recommended concurrences as well as other concurrences and requests for studies being put forward by Leagues. A new platform has been created for the LWVUS and Leagues proposing studies and concurrences to post information on their proposals and for all League members to review and engage in discussion. For questions, email us at progplan@lwv.org.
