By Shelley Jones, LWVWA Nominating Committee Chair

Do you have a passion for our democracy and defending it during these difficult times?

Have you thought about your role in leading LWVWA into the future?

Apply to the LWVWA Board!

The Nominating Committee is currently seeking nominations for BOTH the slate at Convention (includes: President, 2nd Vice President, Secretary, 3 Board of Director positions) and two vacant Board of Directors’ seats that are appointed to serve until to Convention 2023.

If you're like me, the past couple years have been tough—January 6 insurrection, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, etc. But I hope you are also like me and turning that discouragement into motivation to do everything possible to defend our democracy from a very real threat.

More information can be found here about how you can contribute your time and talent by serving on the LWVWA Board.

We are looking for individuals who are:

• Dedicated to our mission “Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy.”
• Committed to LWVWA’s Strategic Plan; our Non-Partisan Policy; 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. Whatever your background, we would like to talk to you. We seek individuals who are creative and hard working.

Service on the state board offers an opportunity to work collaboratively towards the goals of LWVWA, sharing your League successes with other members, continuing to build your leadership skills, helping set the future for LWVWA, and expanding your commitment to the League.

If this sounds like you, apply to the LWVWA Board.

We welcome your recommendations for candidates to the LWVWA Board.

The Nominating Committee will also be asking to give a short presentation at Local League Board and Unit Meetings and we will be hosting two Meet & Greets this Fall.
