June 10-12
Cross your fingers that we will be able to meet in person next year. If so, pack your vaccine card and mask and join the fun! We have two host Leagues for the 2022 council, Skagit and Snohomish, so we will get to travel to one of these beautiful counties north of Seattle. If we can’t meet in person, everything will be arranged on Zoom.
RECONNECT • RESTORE • RENEW
The 2022 Council theme is about connecting in person with old and new friends we have only been able to see within a small box, restoring our determination to carry on with our vital work, and renewing ourselves both personally and professionally. At the 2021 LWVWA Convention, the membership voted to have staggered terms for the board, eliminating the possibility of electing a board comprised of all new members. This means that the 2022 Council will have delegates from local Leagues voting on new state Board members. Each local League will be allotted delegates based on its membership.
An important aspect of the council is local Leagues having an opportunity to share programs and/or sell fundraising items. Tables will be available at the request of local Leagues, so start planning the items and programs your League would like to feature.
There's plenty of time to plan your visit to a truly beautiful part of Washington state. You may want to bring family members and make a holiday of it. Local League leadership should look at their League budgets and plan how they can support members’ attendance. Some of the cost can be taken from your (c)(3) account to support member participation. Delegates will be the only ones voting, but all members are welcome. We will continue to share information as more details get confirmed—watch this space for updates.
Please plan to attend this important council. We will all share our successes, concerns, and ideas for moving forward…and have fun while we do it!
