What a month April has been!!
First, a big thank-you to everyone, from our own membership and from the State office, who worked to put together and host the 75th Biennial Convention of The League of Women Voters of Kansas! It was our first hybrid session ever, and had surprisingly few glitches, thanks to our talented tech team. I think everyone had a good time, learned something new, and ate well. It was good to see old friends and make new ones after three years apart. Lots of work and planning, but well worth the effort.
But that wasn’t all that happened. We also had two sessions of the Building a Resilient Wichita series (co-sponsored with WSU Environmental Finance Center and the City of Wichita), a Community Listening Session on Civic Engagement (co-sponsored with The Wichita Beacon), and the Naturalization Ceremony. And that’s on top of planning meetings, the Board meeting, and the usual round of committee meetings.
Along the way we’ve gained a few new members in April. We welcome them and look forward to working with them in the weeks ahead.
As we move forward, the Nominating Committee is still contacting people to fill open spots on the Board. When you get the call, please consider serving. We are not an organization for sitting around. Membership means more than just writing a check once a year. Our whole purpose is to be active in service. We need YOU to show up, step up, and speak up!
Martha Pint and Nancy Brown, Co-Presidents
