Let's catch up with each other, and then do a little business. It's time to set the course for our League in 2025-2026. This is a municipal election year and there is MUCH going on. The LWVGB, as a grassroots organization, depends on you, the members, to determine who will lead and what we will accomplish in the coming year.
What's on tap?
The business to be decided by the membership at the meeting is linked below. These items are in the members area of the LWVAL server and require member username and password to access.
Username: lwvgb
Password: alconref
(both case sensitive - all lowercase)
(Please do not share the username and password with anyone who is not a member of our League. Please do not forward or otherwise share this email with non-members. Thank you!)
- Proposed Program - The board recommends that LWVGB re-adopt the 2025-2026 program (issue positions, studies, issues for emphasis) as linked here.
- Proposed Budget - This is the proposed LWVGB budget for 2025-2026 as recommended by the Budget Committee and the board.
- Slate - The Nominating Committee nominates this slate of officers, directors, and Nominating Committee members for election.
- Bylaws - There are some bylaw changes that have been recommended by the Bylaws Review Committee. The Recommended Revisions are linked here.
We'll have this information for you in hard copy at the meeting, but we highly encourage you to review the material ahead of time so that we can have meaningful discussion and an informed vote.
Contemplate what you would like to see as priorities for the new LWVGB board in the coming year. Membership will be invited (and encouraged!) to give 'Direction to the Board' during this meeting. Help us set the League priorities for the coming year!
IMPORTANTLY - We must have a quorum present to do the League's business, so it's very important that LWVGB Members attend the 2025 LWVGB Business Meeting - whether virtually or in-person. We hope that this option to attend either in person or online will make it easier for all to participate. Both in person and Zoom attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions, discuss and vote.
See you May 15th at the Homewood Public Library
or on Zoom!
