Friends, we’re just one day away from the Southeast Chapter’s annual meeting. I hope you’ll consider joining us at 7:00 at the Bedford Library, Tuesday, June 6. This is the meeting where we elect our officers for the upcoming year. Odd-numbered years always have a lot of local elections in municipalities and local school boards, and we’ll be doing some preliminary planning for voter forums for those. And as you’ve no doubt heard, there is an important statewide election regarding Issue 1 on August 8; so we’ll have some information about that as well.
Since we formally organized in 2020, the League of Women Voters has strengthened our community by:
· providing voter forums with candidates for public offices;
· instituting an Observer Corps to inform the community about the activities of the Board of Education;
· introducing our new representative on the State Board of Education; and
· helping voters with registration and vote-by-mail procedures.
As we prepare for a critical August election and for municipal and school board elections in November, the work of the League is more important than ever. Please join us on Tuesday, June 6, as we elect new officers and chart a course to promote citizen involvement and educate voters.
