In a recent conference call with our National office I was reminded how important this election year will be and in particular seeing that as many potential voters are registered. Let’s make it our first priority as the “League of Women Voters” to do just that.
We are also reminded that the League should be the leader in communities when candidate forums or debates are held due to the long standing reputation of the League. We often step back and let others take the forefront when we should be the leaders.
Also, National spoke of how people do not take kindly to our describing ourselves as being a “nonpartisan political organization”. The more acceptable description is: “We neither support nor oppose any political candidates”. I know this is a longer phrase and we usually followed the former with the latter, but if we could remember to not even utter the former, we would be more favorably received—as National has been told.
Respectfully submitted,
Rosemary Gary,
President
