The 2022 LWVWA Council got started on Friday, June 10 with a bang as local League presidents shared the opportunities and challenges they deal with and how they address them. The panel of League presidents included Necia Quast, LWV of the San Juans (60 members), Bobbie Ryder, LWV of Pullman (80 members), Nancy Halvorson, LWV of Clark County (135 members), and Karen Tvedt, LWV of Thurston County (176 members). The presidents gave brief descriptions of their League’s culture and structure. After they set the tone for candid sharing and problem-solving, League members were able to talk about their own Leagues and situations at their tables.
