Council 2026

Saturday, April 25, 2026 ~ 9:00 am • Virtual

Please join us for the 2026 LWVMN Council, where our shared work takes shape. By registering, you’re stepping into the League’s democratic process: connecting with members from across the state, helping set priorities, and shaping how we show up for voters and democracy in the year ahead. Your voice matters, and Council is where it counts. We hope to see you there!

We’re also thrilled to welcome our keynote speaker, Kimberly A. Hamlin, author of Free Thinker: Sex, Suffrage, and the Extraordinary Life of Helen Hamilton Gardener. Kimberly is a member of the LWVUS Board and an award-winning scholar, teacher, and public speaker. She regularly contributes to The Washington Post, Smithsonian Magazine, and other outlets, and is the Chamberlin Family Professor of History at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

  • This event is for LWV members who are current on their dues; it is not open to the general public.
