The League of Women Voters of Washington will begin its biennial Convention on Thursday, June 5, 2025. The Plenary will convene on Friday, June 6, and end on Sunday, June 8, at the Heathman Lodge in Vancouver, WA.

The business of Convention will set the stage for the 2025-2027 biennium and will include adoption of Program of Work, election of officers and board of directors, approval of budget, and approval of bylaw amendments. There will be a variety of workshops addressing key issues and tips and ideas from other Leagues for League work.

Additional Convention details will be added as they become available. The final business for Convention will be posted by April 25, 2025, in compliance with the LWVWA bylaws. 

Plan now to attend—each local League may send their President and additional delegates as determined by your membership count that was finalized with LWVUS on Jan. 31, 2025. Anyone may attend as an observer. 

Delegates are chosen by members of their local Leagues.  Local League Representation is calculated in compliance with LWVWA bylaws: Section 9.4:

Representation. Each local League and MAL unit shall be entitled to voting representation in the convention as follows: one delegate for its first through 15th voting members and one delegate for every 25 additional voting members or major fraction thereof. 

Convention is a great opportunity for new and long-term members to learn more about the League, meet members from across the state, and be energized to meet the times. All are welcome—delegates and observers alike!
