Programs and Policy Positions
LWV programs consist of strategic activities determined on our organizational principles or concepts of government functions; and on our consensus positions on particular policies and government issues.
LWV is a grassroots organization, in which program issues and priorities are determined by our members for research (through the League’s “study” process) and action. During the study phase, members conduct research, information sharing and dialogue to identify areas of consensus. From member consensus, League may adopt a position statement on that issue. If no consensus is reached, League will not advocate on that specific issue.
Strategic Planning
The LWVBC has engaged in strategic planning and annual progress reviews since 2015 and has made significant efforts to expand the visibility of the League in Boulder County.
We have worked to expand our outreach efforts; maintain diversity, equity and inclusion in our decision making; recruit younger members; and activate all members.
In 2024, board members determined that the next focus needs to be on internal improvement—operational efficiency, leadership development, and growth of our active volunteer force.
