Every year, our local League solicits advocacy and educational issues from our membership to set our Program, or priorities, for the next League year (May to April). This process happens during Program Planning, an event where advocacy and education teams present their issue, its importance to the League, and their plan for the next year. Members then vote on each issue to be presented at our Annual Meeting in April as our Program for the new League year.

This year, to keep our members safe, we are doing things a little differently. We are sending out this template for members and current team leads to fill out if they have an advocacy and/or education issue they would like to see in our Program. The completed template is due on January 31st at 5pm. These documents will then be used to create a Program Planning Workbook for our membership to review ahead of the Program Planning meeting on February 18th, 2021.

A survey will also be sent out ahead of the Program Planning meeting for members to ask questions of each team. Answers to these questions and short presentations will be given at the Program Planning meeting; the meeting will culminate in a vote to add (or not to add) each issue to next year’s Program at the Annual Meeting.

Completed templates should be sent to office@lwvspa.org.
Questions about Program Planning and associated items should be directed to president@lwvspa.org.
