    LWV Northeast's Annual Meeting 2026

    Our annual business meeting is on June 14, preceding the monthly program presentation. During this brief business meeting, members elect the officers and board, approve the annual budget, and consider changes to the bylaws. It is essential that we complete these organizational responsibilities. We must have a quorum to do so.

    All members should have received an email titled ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING 2026 by now. It will have a PDF attachment with the information for you. 

    Remember, we need a quorum of members (people who have paid dues) to have an official vote, so we are very eager to have you there!  Then we will proceed to our educational program on the Declaration of Independence.

    Non-members are welcome to attend this meeting before our usual program, they just cannot vote.

    LWV Northeast hosts "Founding Purpose and Promise: The Declaration of Independence and our Democratic Future"

    Please come at 1:30p to socialize while we set up!

    When was the last time you read the Declaration of Independence? Revisiting it today invites an important question: how can its foundational truths, values, and principles still guide our civic actions?

    Join presenters Becky Keeler, Ramsey McGowen, and Dave Vollrath for a timely and engaging conversation as we explore America’s founding ideals in celebration of our nation’s 250th anniversary. Together, we’ll dig into our country’s core values and connect these foundational principles to the real, everyday work of government and civic engagement. We will look at the Declaration of Independence not simply as a historical document, but as a living roadmap for the future, one that still challenges and inspires us today. Participants will leave with a renewed sense of purpose and a clearer, values based framework for meaningful civic engagement in our community.

    Note that there will be a brief, but important Annual Business Meeting preceding the program. All are welcome to attend.

    Our educational meetings are open to anyone in the community. They are also live-streamed on our Facebook page and then posted on our YouTube channel. Please come and bring a friend! Light refreshments will be served.
