Come Join the Board
Two open positions 
 
There are two positions available if you are thinking of giving more to our local league.
 
After ably directing the Observers, Gretchen Monti is stepping down from this role. Thank you so much, Gretchen, for your leadership!  The Observer Director, which is a board member position, endeavors to ensure we have Observers at key governmental meetings, arranges for their training, and guides them in reporting what they have observed. 
 
We also have a need for a board member who will temporarily fill the Vice President role through the November elections. At that time, our Voter Services Director, Chad Kahl, will move into the VP spot. The temporary VP will serve as a board member from July 2024 to June 2025 and the initial and temporary VP duties can be shaped to meet your interests and time. 

Both positions provide a terrific way to learn more about how the League function and for you to become more active in a national election year.  League leadership promises support and mentorship to anyone wishing to step up into either role.  The League Board meets monthly for approximately an hour and a half. 
 
If you're interested, contact Diana Hauman at dianahauman@aol.com; Laurie Wollrab at lwollrab@gmail.com or 309-261-2688 or Faith Russell at fasruss@gmail.com or 309-830-2165. 

Rank Choice Voting Volunteers Needed
 
Are you interested in working towards getting Rank Choice Voting (RCV) for the Bloomington City and Normal Town Councils and Mayors on next year's ballot?  The RCV Committee is looking for volunteers to assist with signature gathering, informational events, and other activities.  We are working with the help and guidance of FairVote Illinois, fairvoteillinois.org to accomplish this. Contact Laurie Bergner, laurielbergner@gmail.com  (309) 831 - 5385 or Laurie Wollrab, lwollrab@gmail.com, (309) 261 - 2688.

Help preserve League history 

Illinois State University archives houses the archives for the League of Women Voters of McLean County, thanks to member Sandra Harmon. We're helping ISU collect information from members who may have boxes, files or computer messages that could be of interest and helpful to future generations. Are you one of those members? If so, we would love to have them.
 
Just send us a message at info@lwvmclean.org and we'll get in touch with you to collect the boxes or files or let you know how to send electronic information to the League archivist.  Thanks so much for your help with this important project!
