STATE STUDY

The League of Women Voters of Oregon (LWVOR) is beginning a statewide study on coastal water issues summer 2010 through 2011. See www.lwvor.org.

MEETINGS

Our monthly general meetings offer education on important issues to League members and the community. This spring we will focus on development of the local league Observer Corps, a group who attends public meetings and reports back to the board of directors. We will also  tune into the two State studies on Water and the Election Methods.

ACTION NETWORK

To encourage League members to work for legislative changes in areas where we have positions. See lwvor.org.

OBSERVER CORPS

Join the League to find out what's going on. Represent the League by attending local public meetings to observe meeting process and learn about community decision making. And it is an easy way to be informed, support your League and stay in touch with governing bodies.

Attend a Douglas County Commissioners meeting (held once a week on Wednesdays), or a Roseburg City council meeting, a School Board meeting, or a Douglas County planning commission meeting. Take notes while you're there. Refrain from making any statements; we are there only as observers, not to participate. Please fill out the short report form and forward it to the League. That's it. Consider participating in this way. Contact a board member.
