OUTREACH

• Speakers Bureau.  On request LWVSPBC send speakers to condos, homeowners groups and other community organizations to interpret selected issues of concern to county citizens.  The Speaker’s Bureau discussed the 10 constitutional amendments and 6 county ballot issues for the November 2002 ballot. Post election, speakers will be available on topics of current interest in the county.

• Voters Service. Our members work with schools, businesses, and other organizations to encourage participation in elections by registering voters, providing information on voting procedures, and furnishing information about absentee ballots.
  
  
  
  
• Candidate Forums.  Before elections the League sponsors forums on TV and in local community centers to explore positions of candidates on topics related to the upcoming election.  In accordance with League guidelines candidates must focus on issues and are firmly prohibited from making personal attacks on one another.
  
  
  
• Legislative Action.  When important votes on issues about which the League has a position come before state and national legislatures, League members are notified so they may lobby their representatives.  For information about League recommendations contact the LWVSPBC at (561) 276-4898.
