A second national study on Privatization of Public Services will be planning an informational and a consensus meeting this spring. The Privatization chair is Susan Gilbert. Email her at wm@lwvbcc.org

Be an Observer

As one veteran observer put it "Governmental bodies often act more openly - and, we can hope, more responsibly - when they know the public is watching them. The League observers, by their very presence, remind the bodies that they are in the public eye. When I was an observer many years ago, I felt that a significant function was keeping the boards honest."
Observers also learn about issues that are or may become items for local study and/or action.

Join the Board!

The LWVBCC Board of Directors meets nine times a year, usually in Three Oaks. Board members have an administrative responsibility, for example treasurer or communications, or responsibility for an area of interest such as the environment or education. Some Board members are veterans and some are new and we have men as well as women.
Help chart the direction of this local League and make a difference!
If you're interested in being on the Board contact Liz Ennis at President@lwvbcc.org
