This year's LWV UMRR Annual Meeting will start out with our business meeting and follow up with a focus on our LWV compatriots nationwide.

The LWVLA is a member of UMRR and can send one delegate.  Additional members from local Leagues are welcome to attend, but will be asked not to vote when voting occurs.

A program focused on the ties that bind our local Leagues, and how we can work together more effectively will begin at 7 p.m. We'll start off with Jessica Rolhoff, Midwest Regional Organizer for LWV US. Jessica will give an update (and answer questions) about the LWV US transformation plan, introducing this new LWV US initiative (regional reps) to our members.

We will then turn to the LWV US Climate Interest Group. As citizens of the world we must protect our planet from the physical, economic and public health effects of climate change while also providing pathways to economic prosperity. To advance League action on this urgent issue, the LWV Climate Interest Group was formed to collaborate nationwide. The Climate Interest Group is a group of League members from across the United States working together to fight climate change. They've organized teams in important climate issue areas to provide materials for local and state Leagues to use in their education and advocacy.

Joy Guscott-Mueller is Chair of the Water Team for the Climate Interest Group. She's also the Chair of LWV Lake Michigan Region, the other regional, multi-state Inter-League Organization focused on a major water body. Joy will talk to us about how the work of the Climate Interest Group strengthens the work of ILOs and our member Leagues.
