There is an amazing opportunity to attend panel discussions, public lectures, and classroom discussions (Suffrage, How does LWV make decisions) which are all open to the public, with past LWVUS Exective Director, Nancy Tate at the University of Charleston from Tuesday 23 to Thursday 26. I have attached Nancy's full schedule of events.
Our own Becky Cain-Ceperly who served as LWVWV President (1983-1987) and LWVUS President (1992-1998) will take part on one of the panels!
If you are in the area and cannot attend any of the daytime events, please consider attending "The US Election System. How it Works and Why it Matters" with Nancy Tate as speaker. This event will take place Tuesday, October 24, 2017 from 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. in the Erma Byrd Gallery, third floor of Riggleman Hall, University of Charleston campus.
If you need directions on how to get to any particular session please contact:
