LWV of Detroit is a vibrant and effective chapter doing important work to strengthen our democracy and engage our communities. Past accomplishments are due to the diligence, creativity, and hard work of the League’s board of directors and membership.
It is time to build on that success. Current officers and board members have dedicated years of leadership to our chapter. As members, we now must strengthen and support the board. The Nominating Committee (Valerie Ash, Gerry Barrons, and Deborah Bunkley) ask you to consider serving on the board.
Please email your questions and your candidate nominations to Gerry Barrons by March 30, 2022.
