The LWV of Washington is seeking volunteers for the following roles. This is a great opportunity to play an important part in your state League!

VOTE411 Volunteers

The Vote411 Committee is seeking a new member or two to take over responsibility for candidate questions. This entails soliciting questions on current issues from local Leagues well in advance of the primary election each year; reviewing and, if necessary, editing the questions according to League standards; and maintaining our file of generic questions for races for which we do not have local questions. Work begins in April each year, with the bulk of it taking place in May and early June. This job is essential to the committee’s efforts to reach out to both candidates and voters. If you have the interest and can spare the time, please consider taking it on. We provide training. Please contact Beatrice Crane, VOTE411 Project Manager, at vote411@lwvwa.org for more information.

Office 365 Support

Do you know how to use SharePoint and/or Microsoft Teams? Have you ever set up some Power Automate actions? We need someone to help take the LWVWA to the next level in our technology usage. An expert would be great, but a tech-savvy person who is really interested in figuring out how to use these technologies to make the League more efficient and connected (and has the time and energy to do so) would be a big help, too! This work could include experimenting with the technology, providing tech support to members, administering guest access, exploring how to make this technology available to local Leagues, and any other ideas that we come up with. Contact Amy at apeloff@lwvwa.org.

MELD Pod Facilitator

The LWVWA is seeking Membership Engagement Leadership and Development (MELD) program pod facilitators, a position that involves about five hours a month. This includes a monthly 60-minute Zoom meeting with your assigned pod and writing a short report. The facilitators also meet once a month for an hour. The MELD program is a way for all League levels—local, state, and national—to communicate, share their successes and challenges, and receive information about programs and resources. This leadership position requires good listening and communication skills and the ability to facilitate a group discussion. If you’re interested in being a pod facilitator, contact Miriam Kerzner for more information.
