Emailing - League of Women Voters of Orange County

One of our greatest strengths as a League is the amazing work we do year around to fulfill our mission of empowering voters and defending democracy. As we head into a busy election season, we would like to gather our membership for a new series. We are calling it Grassroots University and we request that you make time to attend this important webinar. The goal of this series is to help us get more aligned with our grassroots efforts. This first session will cover our new communications strategy, partnerships with allied organizations, and new tools to reach more voters. All members are encouraged to attend. Even our most seasoned Leaguers and especially our chairs. We need all hands on deck!

Please join us on August 16th at 6:30 P.M. You can register HERE. We are so grateful for your dedication to the League and hope to see you on the 16th!
