Who is this group of activists - concerned voters (both female and some male)?
The League of Women Voters of Berrien and Cass Counties is an active and growing organization. Since 2005 our membership has more than doubled and we are currently the 4th largest League in Michigan. In part this is because the League is really the only grassroots, multi-issue, nonpartisan political organization working at all levels of government in this area.
LWVBCC has a variety of meetings each year often with world class speakers. Senator Debbie Stabenow visited us in September 2010 and in November 2010 Dr. Rosina Bierbaum, Dean of the School of Natural Resources and Environment and a rock star in the scientific world, spoke on climate change at a sold out dinner co-sponsored by Fernwood Botanical Garden. Environment and Energy related issues have consistently been a focus. Beth Wallace of the National Wildlife Federation was the featured speaker at a very well attended September 2011 public meeting on pipelines, including the Keystone XL pipeline
In addition, we do traditional League things like voter service, program planning for conventions and consensus meetings on national and state items, most recently consensus meetings on the Role of the Federal Government in Public Education--held at a new local winery!--and Privatization of Government Services
Voter Service is always huge in a major election year. We had three forums in the summer of 2012 before the primaries and just had four very well attended candidate debates in October. We organized a coaltion of the League and 8 other community organizations to induce the candidates to prticipate in our forums. From March 2012 through the voter registration deadlie on October 9 LWVBCC registered 483 voters.
