League of Women Voters of North Carolina

You are invited to attend the LWVNC Leadership Institute workshops being held on Saturdays in August in three locations in North Carolina. They will consist of two tracks: one to introduce new and potential members and friends to the League of Women Voters and offer a skill building session on how to get your message out. The other targets current LWV boards and the membership on Building a Board, and Making League Positions Work for You. The agenda allows plenty of time for discussion.
