The business to be decided by the membership at the meeting is linked below.  We'll have this information for you 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.

These materials are in the 'Members Only' area of the League server and require the login credentials to access. If you need assistance to access, contact Jean Johnson at 205 222-2097.

   •   Proposed Program - The board recommends that LWVGB re-adopt the 2023-2024 program (issue positions, studies, issues for emphasis) as linked here.

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.

IMPORTANTLY - We must have a quorum present to do the League's business, so it's very important that LWVGB Members attend the 2023 LWVGB Business Meeting. We hope that the option to attend in person or online will make it possible for all to be present. Both in person and Zoom attendees will also have the opportunity to discuss and vote.

See you May 23rd at Homewood Public Library or on Zoom!
