Convention

 

Taking place biennially during odd-numbered years, Convention is a weekend-long statewide conference for all Florida League members during which important organizational decisions are discussed. Delegates representing their local Leagues vote on important League business, including budgets, by-laws, state Board elections, and policy priorities.

LWVF's most recent Convention took place April 12-13, 2013 in Tallahassee, Florida. To read the minutes from Plenary Session I click here, and to read the minutes from Plenary Session II click here.

Many thanks to Tallahassee City Commissioner Nancy Miller and Leon County Supervisor of Elections Ion Sancho who addressed the League at our recent Convention in Tallahassee, Florida April 12-13th!

 

Council of Leaders

Held biennially during even-numbered years, Council of Leaders is a weekend-long League conference for Local Leaders from local Leagues all around Florida. Participants have the opportunity to receive leadership training from state Board members and local elected officials and leadership experts, as well as approve the budget for the coming fiscal year. Local League Board members are encouraged to attend Council in order to keep current with organizational changes in the state League, participate in key decision-making for the coming year, hone their leadership skills in workshops, and stay in touch with other Local Leaders.
