LWVC Convention 2009 - Long Beach
Welcome to the League of Women Voters of California Convention 2011 blog!
This blog will help you prepare for our 64th bi-annual Convention held at the Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach, 13-15 May of 2011 (with exciting pre-convention events on Thursday, May 12) which is part of our principles in action. We are honored to have as our special guest LWVUS President Elisabeth MacNamara. Click on the tabs on the top of the page for more information on a variety of topics and direct links for convention registration and hotel reservations.
This year, in response to requests from members we will be offering a few Thursday workshops that the public and members not registering for convention can attend for a fee. Those workshops will be: Treasurer’s Workshop; Smart Voter Workshop; The 2012 Project (advice and tools for women interested in running for public office). And of course the Smart Voter dinner on Thursday evening. Please click on the Schedule tab for additional information. Those registering for convention do not have to pay a separate fee for Thursday workshops. Click here if you want to download the convention logo to use in your Voter or on your website: Logos
NOTE: This year we will follow the LWVUS model and combine the Workbook/Program into one document which will be provided as a hard copy in the registration packet provided at Convention. All pre-convention material will be provided electronically.
The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization for women and men, has fought since 1920 to improve our systems of government and impact public policies through citizen education and advocacy. The League’s enduring vitality and resonance comes from its unique decentralized structure. The League is a grassroots organization, working at the national, state and local levels. The League of Women Voters of California and the League of Women Voters of California Education Fund operate at the state level with grassroots support from regional and local Leagues, as well as members at large.

The League of Women Voters is strictly nonpartisan; it neither supports nor opposes candidates for office at any level of government. At the same time, the League is wholeheartedly political and works to influence policy through advocacy. It is the original grassroots citizen network, directed by the consensus of its members
Over time, the League’s legislative priorities change to reflect the needs of society and critical issues of concern. The organization remains true to its basic purpose: to make democracy work for all citizens. The League of Women Voters makes a difference in the lives of citizens because of the energy and passion of thousands of members committed to our principles.
