LWV-LC Observer Corp

Our League now has volunteers observing: the Livingston County Commissioners, Brighton and Pinckney schools, and Genoa Township board meetings. Observers note compliance with Open Meeting Act requirements and action on items of significance to LWV, which are published in our monthly e-newsletter. LWV Observers do not participate in meetings or address issues.
Those who frequently attend local government meetings already, either in-person or watching the online recordings, are invited consider doing so as a LWV-LC volunteer. Membership and training are required. Reach out to observercorp@lwvlivingstonco.org and we’ll provide you with all the important information necessary to get you started. to

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

The League offers opportunities to learn about and be involved with issues important to our democracy, and to connect with others who may disagree politically (we need diverse perspectives) but value the democratic process.

Our name honors the women who founded the League in 1919 at the advent of women's suffrage, but we welcome ALL people aged 16 and older to join us.

It is important work. We could do more with your help. Learn more...
