Interested in forming a local League?
If there is no League presence in your community and you are interested in forming a local League, please let us know and we will help you get started.
Starting a League is a great opportunity to increase civic education and engagement in your community. The process for starting a new League includes meetings with LWVMA representatives, mentoring, and other means of support until the new League is ready to be independent.
