WHAT IS LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF GLENVIEW/GLENCOE?
The League of Women Voters of Glenview/Glencoe is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and seeks to influence public policy through education and advocacy. The League is nonpartisan in that it never supports or opposes candidates or political parties, and political in that it takes action on governmental issues for which positions have been adopted through member study and agreement.
Our local League adheres to the policy positions of the National and State Leagues. We are very active and this is an overview of what we do:
