League of Women Voters of Duluth Fall Kickoff

With midterm elections approaching, the Duluth League of Women Voters invites the public to its Fall Kickoff. The program offers a look at the organization’s plans to inform voters, encourage participation in the election process and follow public-policy issues during the coming year.

Kathy Heltzer is serving as emcee for the evening. Sue DeNio will begin with a 10-minute overview of voter services and the league’s work to help community members become informed and prepared voters.

The remaining speakers are limited to one minute each. These fast-paced introductions highlight the observer program, advocacy actions, the legislative roundtable, Women of Influence, Sisters Book Club, Signs of Fascism and the league’s largest fundraiser, its annual plant and book sale.

The kickoff is open to longtime members, new members and anyone interested in learning more about voting, public-policy issues and participation in local democracy. The league is nonpartisan and does not support or oppose political parties or candidates. Attendees do not need to be league members or experts on government. Anyone who wants to become a more informed and involved voter is welcome.

Snacks and beverages will be served, and attendees will have opportunities to meet league members and learn how to get involved.

The League of Women Voters is a political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
