Coming Events

Membership Signups and Renewals will soon be handled primarily by LWVUS.

Most members will not need to do anything right now.

 
These are actions that some of  you might need to take to make the transition go more smoothly. 

• Contact Information:  If your contact information has changed, update it in your profile.  It is especially important for you to have a accurate email. Remember the League will not share any of this information outside the League.
• Household Members: While this is going away as a member type, you will still be able to enter two members together.  What you will need is a unique email address for each member.  If you have not entered that, please do so.  If your household does not have a second email address and you cannot get one, we can discuss how to handle that.
• Current Renewals:  If you have recently received a renewal reminder, it would probably be a good idea to go ahead and renew as soon as possible, so you can renew using the current process.  You will receive notice when we switch over to the new system, and you will be directed to the new system after that.  Most current members still have the old renewal date of July 1, so the new system will have had its shakedown time before that.

All other functions on our Website will remain the same.

The most dramatic changes will be in the member types and the way dues will be shared across the  national, state and local levels of the League. Life memberships will remain.  The Dues structure will also change. If you would like to learn more about the planned changes, you can find a write up and FAQs in the member references section. Remember that since this is a members section, you will need to be logged in to get there.

Don't Be Shy
If You Can Help, Let Us Know

We have several open positions that we need to fill right now, and we will soon be looking for officers for the coming year (starting July 2025). 

These offices are currently open:

• Executive VP
  
• Secretary 
• Membership Chair
• Voter Service Chair
  
• Community Outreach Chair
• Posting to Social Media (Facebook and Instagram)
• Communications: Website Updating, Newsletters, etc.

You can read job descriptions for these at  Job Descriptions, although a few of these are outdated and the actual role can be adapted for the skills and needs of members. 

If you do not feel quite ready to take on the lead, you could also consider co-chairing with another member, and many existing office holders could also use an assistant, which is a great way to learn a role.  

If you can help, contact Donna Roper president@lwvsonoma.org or the current holder of the office  Contact Us
