Legislative Summit

 

old capitol

Essentially our "lobby days," the League of Women Voters of Florida's annual Legislative Summit brings members from all over the state to Tallahassee to advocate on our issues before state leaders, ensuring that a strong and united League voice is heard. Previously dubbed Legislative Seminar, this three-day conference during legislative session has in the past included seminars and trainings on understanding League positions and advocating with civility;  briefings with legislative leaders in the Cabinet room of the Florida Capitol; lobbying legislators in person; members-only formal luncheons and dinners; and fundraising galas with Florida leaders. 
 

Many thanks to Secretary of State Ken Detzner for addressing the League at our recent Members' Dinner on Thursday, April 11th!
