At the LWVTX Convention 2024, "Embracing Our Diversity. Defending Democracy," delegates heard one resounding message: Despite the loss of DEI protections in many non-profits and institutions, we at the League are championing our diversity and seeking to widen it always. We need more racial diversity, we need more young people and men, we need input from all the communities in our area! We at the League have committed ourselves to empower the voice of the people and we have to meet the challenge of growth in all these sectors in Williamson County.
League leaders from all over the state presented workshops and led discussions on countering election disinformation, Voters Guides, empowering engagement , getting out the vote efforts, building next generation leaders in our Leagues, fundraising, turbocharging the youth vote, and more. We also attended the Plenary session on Saturday, for the first time as a delegation representing LWVWilco at the state convention! While there, we received a LWV Superstar League 2024 recognition for our multiple VR events while talking like a pirate (on talk like a pirate day, you know?).
Next LWVTX convention will be in 2026 in Corpus Christie. Think about becoming a delegate!
