Doing hands-on work to safeguard democracy

The League of Women Voters of Seattle believes that sensible, responsible civil discourse and action based on substance rather than partisanship is essential for civic improvement and that we can help make democracy work through informed participation in government.

The League, while political, is non-partisan and does not support, rate, or endorse candidates. We do, however, sponsor free, non-partisan candidate debates, monthly public forums and ballot issues forums. We also advocate on issues such as education, transportation, land use, ethics and healthcare.

Seattle First Baptist Church
1111 Harvard Avenue
Seattle, WA 98122
(Harvard and Seneca on First Hill)

While much of the daily work of the League of Women Voters of Seattle is performed by members of committees or the Board or by a small cadre of other volunteers, all members are responsible for shaping the future of League. We are a grassroots organization; members decide what issues we will focus on and what actions we take. If you are a member, please join us at our Annual Meeting. Five percent of the membership is the required quorum but attendance at the highest level possible helps to forge a League that speaks for all of us.

Agenda:
5:00 PM - Registration begins
5:30 PM - Call to order
6:30 PM - Buffet dinner
8:45 PM - Education Fund Annual Meeting

$10 at the door covers the cost of registration and buffet dinner

For reservations, contact the League office by Tuesday, May 20. Call (206) 329-4848 or email monya@seattlelwv.org.
