League Discussion
Learn about issues and hot-button topics directly from officials and experts at League Discussion meetings. Discussion meetings are open to the public. Watch for announcements regarding locations, dates, topics and speakers on the league's home page, in the local newspaper, The Voter (the local league's official newsletter) or by e-mail.

LWV MRC Annual Meeting
The local league's annual business meeting is in April. During the meeting league members adopt a budget and program for the year as well as elect officers. These meetings have often featured a speaker and usually include a dinner or luncheon. Members will be notified by mail and e-mail about the time, place and agenda for the Annual Meeting.

Forums
The league sponsors two kinds of educational forums: issue forums and candidate forums. The league may present a panel of speakers to explore an issue of local, state or national significance. The league also customarily conducts candidate forums prior to local, state and national elections as part of a voter service initiative. The league normally advertises these forums on the home page of the league's web site, in the local newspaper, on the weather channel, in The Voter (the local league's official newsletter) and by e-mail.

Edith Stunkel Good Government Award
The league presents the Edith Stunkel Good Government Award annually to a person who has devoted considerable time and energy to successfully promoting better government or whose leadership has advanced human dignity or improved the quality of life for the community.
