Please pay special attention to the morning session that starts at 10:30 am: Megan Brown from LWVUS will brief us on the VOTE411 program and how we can help promote that program for voter education and election information Judy Ball and Julie Archer will share lessons learned from the Make Some Noise program and the 2024 Legislative Scorecard. This was truly a team effort and many League members contributed their time and energy. Please share your suggestions on how to make the program even better! (Check out Judy's interview with WV Public Broadcasting here <https://wvpublic.org/w-va-league-of-women-voters-offers-2024-legislative-sc…>.) We will be discussing the need to form LWVWV positions on public education and local levies. Both these topics are important state concerns and we need to form more detailed LWVWV positions on them. BUT WAIT!! THERE’S MORE!!!!! After these topics, we will break at noon for a refreshment break. Stick around to hear BIG NEWS about the LWVUS convention which will be in June in Washington DC, Julie Archer, Lyn Widmyer and Judy Ball will be attending. The LWVWV will be on the agenda for two very important topics: our proposal for a small state caucus workshop has been accepted and we have co-sponsored a request for a resolution regarding Ethics In Government. We also want to hear from you about topics and issues we should share at the national convention. To finish up the Council session, we will hear portfolio and committee reports. The managers have been very busy and here is our chance to learn more about the LWVWV activities and concerns. WHEW—the LWVWV has been busy! In addition to approving the budget for the coming year and receiving input and guidance on our program work, we still need volunteers for Voter Service and Nominating Committee. Please consider helping! *We look forward to seeing you Saturday, May 18! Please register here: https://forms.gle/4AXJEZAtKzq44yae6 <https://forms.gle/4AXJEZAtKzq44yae6> *
