The League of Women Voters of Greater Lafayette has a long and proud history of helping citizens to participate in our representative government through research, education, and advocacy. The League was organized in Indiana and in Tippecanoe County in 1920, shortly after the national League was founded. We invite you to become part of this group of men and women who work to make a difference in our community, the state of Indiana, our country, and the world.
The League is a non-partisan organization that does not support or endorse any political party or candidate. However, the League researches and develops position statements on issues such as representative government, international relations, natural resources, social policy and more. We believe that democratic government relies on the informed and active participation of its citizens, and seeks to influence public policy through education and advocacy on issues we have studied. A great strength of the League is that these positions are developed through a grassroots process of consensus and concurrence, resulting in agreement by all local Leagues throughout the country. Recently, a local study committee completed work on Township Government in Tippecanoe County. See the website home page for a link to the final report. This same study committee is completing their work on the coverage of library service in Tippecanoe County and expects a report available fall 2011.
Additional reviews of two local studies will begin in fall 2011 on domestic violence and the local waste management situation. Committees are being formed. Join us.
Whether you are interested in helping to provide education to the public, advocating for positions on issues, ensuring the integrity of the election process, or facilitating the operation of the organization, there is a place for you in the League. Joining the local League automatically makes you a member of the State and National Leagues. As a League member, you will receive a copy of our local newsletter, as well as publications from the State (www.lwvin.org) and National Leagues. Please sign up for the national electronic publications at www.lwv.org. You may also choose to receive action alerts and other time-sensitive information by e-mail.
"The League of Women Voters is where hands-on work to safeguard democracy leads to civic improvement. Join LWV where leaders are actively engaged in effecting change at the local, state and national levels."
