League of Women Voters members power democracy with our civic commitment, duty to community, and our thirst for an inclusive democracy and a healthy planet! Please join us for this half-day of learning and planning to “power up” for the busy journey ahead - to the end of our legislative session and the beginning of our 2024 elections. Registration is FREE and your presence is priceless to us!
