Spring 2023 Member Newsletter & Annual Meeting Invitation - LWVWV members

5 May 2023

      The League of Women Voters of Morgantown-Monongalia County invites members of the LWV of West Virginia to attend our annual meeting, Sunday, May 21, 2023.   Details for Zoom below.
We are especially excited about our Guest Speaker, Dr. Katie Hill, WVU School of Medicine.  She will discuss her experiences providing care in other countries and how those experiences can inform methods to address healthcare disparities in West Virginia.
LWVWV members are invited to join us for the presentation with plenty of time for Q&A.  Hope to see you there.  Yes, you may invite others, as appropriate.

Proposed Program:  Summary and Comments on Proposed Amendments
In 2022, LWV-MM adopted a program that focused our priorities to better reflect the availability of members to lead action, advocacy, and education efforts.  The three priorities adopted in the 2022 program were:   
   - Voters service
   - Social justice
   - Environmental Protection
This year, the Board is recommending only minor adjustments from the program adopted last year.  The minor changes were designed to recognize recent local actions and legislative initiatives that deserve LWV observation and action.
Three Other Areas remain, not as top priorities, but important enough that LWVMM will be following them and acting as needed.  These Other Areas in the proposed program include:   
   - Local government
   - Education
   - Broadband access
