NEW LWVUS PRESIDENT

   In June, hundreds of League supporters came together in Atlanta to celebrate the League's 90th anniversary, discuss critical policy issues, and elect Atlanta resident Elisabeth MacNamara as the new national president of the League of Women Voters.
   Elisabeth's impressive resume shows she's a leader on many of the issues facing our nation. We are so excited to have her at the helm as we approach the 2010 midterm election -- one that will shape the political landscape for the next decade.

   Elisabeth's expertise and strong leadership come at a time when the stakes could not be higher for people like you who care about open, honest government and democracy. I am thrilled to welcome Elisabeth, and to work with you as we continue the fight for a better America.

Members of the committee will be responsible for developing study materials and consensus question, participating in reviewing/ tabulating all of the responses submitted by participating Leagues, and based on those, recommending position language to the Board. The LWVUS Board is now seeking applications from members who are interested in being on the study committee. Please complete the online application form (including your resume), no later than August 16, 2010.
