Organization of the League of Women Voters

What is the organization of the LWV?

Organization

The structure of the League parallels the representative system of government under which we live. Our local, state, and national governments are dependent on each other; the base is the individual citizen. The local, state, and national Leagues also are interdependent.

A local board is elected by the membership at an annual meeting, and state and national boards are elected at biennial conventions. Officers are elected, and the remainder of the board is composed of elected and appointed directors. Directors hold job responsibilities called portfolios, which may be related to organizational development of to program.
