Local Leaguers attend National Training Program

Baltimore County League of Women Voters leaguers, Nancy Horst, Kate McAllister and Sharalyn Luciani were recently selected to participate in a leadership development training conducted by the LWVUS.
The leadership program, which sponsors these trainings, was established by the LWVUS to help enrich the democracy-building efforts of our more than 90-year-old grassroots organization.The program will be implemented by the local leagues in all 50 states with the support of a volunteer national coaching team and a cadre of state coaches.
During the tw0-day training held on July 23-24 in Chantilly, VA, the participants attended "best practices" workshops conducted by national trainers from Washington DC and Maryland. Training included techniques for empowering citizens to have a voice in their communities, for heightening League visibility and for developing the skills of rising League leaders.
Our new membership team has already begun action by organizing a September event for understanding Homelessness. Watch for more information on this interactive workshop coming soon.
