"An educated, enlightened and informed population is one of the surest ways of promoting the health of democracy. " ~Nelson Mandela



The need to defend democracy never stops and neither do we.


Through the years we have registered thousands of voters, worked 40+ elections, sought to educate the public and successfully fought to revise and amend Florida's Constitution. We are dedicated to recording these efforts and celebrating their outcomes.


Currently, we strive to archive our achievements, participate in local events highlighting the history of women and the League in central Florida, as well as continue to empower voters by teaching them more about the past.

Partnering with the Orange County Regional History Center, we've reached new audiences.
