LWV-RMA January Membership Meetings Focus On State and
Local Priorities & Program
SATURDAY JANUARY 9, 10:00 A.M.
LWVNYS LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES AND PROGRAM PLANNING
Every two years in June our state League, LWVNYS, holds a biennial convention where a Program, the basis for prioritized advocacy in the following two years, is voted on and adopted by delegates. Local Leagues meet in January to consider recommendations from the state Board for that Program. LWV-RMA members will look at these and provide feedback on them. We can put forward recommendations of our own. We will also review and make recommendations around the proposed LWVNYS Legislative Priorities for 2021.
TUESDAY JANUARY 26, 7:00 P.M.
LWV-RMA LOCAL POSITION REVIEW AND PROGRAM PLANNING
This year LWV-RMA will do a deeper review of our local Positions, looking at expanded versions, including background materials and past actions based on them. Recommendations for retaining, updating or deleting each position will be presented by our Local Position Review Group, and attendees will discuss and decide on those. Studies for possible new positions or updates can be recommended by members at the meeting. Program Planning suggestions from members for the 2021-2022 year will be considered and those with substantial support will be submitted to the LWV-RMA Board. Ideas and issues brought up at this time often become topics of future forums.
