The Power of Us is the theme for Council 2026, which will be June 6 and 7, in Lacey, and members of the planning committee are inviting every League member—new, lifetime or in between—to start thinking about attending.

Council is our opportunity to come together for a refreshing, empowering, and educational event.  It’s where we can learn about ourselves and the League, share details about the extraordinary work each local League is doing, express our appreciation for the efforts of the past year, and move forward with the renewed power that comes from collaboration and cooperation. 

As you save the date in your calendar, also think about the talents you have and the ideas you might contribute. 

• Got a design idea for a “The Power of Us” logo that we can use in Council-related communications? Send it along.
• Have a workshop you and your League would like to offer? Or an evening caucus you’d like to propose?  It’s never too early to draft a proposal.
• If you live within 30 minutes of South Puget Sound Community College’s Lacey campus and have a guest room for a fellow League member, we’re organizing home-stays to help make Council attendance more affordable. 

Watch for more details via In League and in your inbox in the coming months, and send ideas to Angela Gyurko at agyurko@lwvwa.org. 

Thank you! Here’s to seeing you in Lacey in June.
