Who are the members?
Membership in the League of Women Voters, the most respected and effective grassroots organization in the country, is open to men and women over the age of 16.
Our members make a visible difference by serving as local leaders using our experience to create positive, lasting change in our communities.
Why should I join?
The League is a grassroots organization, more than a century old. A “mighty political experiment” that helped 20 million women carry out their responsibility as new voters after a 72-year fight, the League launched a drive toward advocacy, civil rights and social justice. Through participation in League projects, you will:
- contribute valuable service to the community
- gain knowledge and experience through the study and discussion of timely and important topics
- discover new interests, develop new skills and learn about crucial issues in your community
- make professional contacts and develop lasting friendships as you meet others in League who share your interests
How much time does it take?
It’s up to you! Many members choose to support the League only with their annual dues. Your membership alone gives us the political influence needed to build a voice for citizens and a force for change. We cover a broad spectrum of issues and concerns; you may choose to become involved in one or more of them by actively participating in a group study, or listening to a panel of experts at a meeting or just reading about them in one of our publications.
What do I get?
By joining the Williamsburg Area League, you automatically become a member of LWV Virginia and LWV United States. You can receive their communications along with the Williamsburg Area eVOTER newsletter. You are adding your voice to a powerful force of members from all 50 states, Washington DC, the Virgin Islands, and Hong Kong.
