League Leadership
LWV elects leadership during their annual spring meeting. While there is a nominating committee that provides suggested leadership roles, anyone is able to make electoral nominations.
Currently, our board meets the 2nd Monday evening of the month. Any LWV member can submit (and/or attend with) agenda items. Please contact the President with your agenda request one week prior to meeting.
Below are the current board elected officials as of May, 2022.
President - Margy Davey

A strong interest in social justice and a background in advocacy led me to LWV. "I like the nonpartisan sharing of ideas and the in-depth study of issues LWV provides. I appreciate that diverse opinions are welcome and thoughtfully digested in a safe and respectful atmosphere."
