Evening With the League -- Concurrence Request - February 16 - 5:30pm

We have been asked by the Indiana League of Women Voters (LWVIN) to consider a request that the state Leagues concur with Lake Michigan League position related to the Great lakes ecosystem. In order for this to occur, members of local leagues need to read the position, discuss any questions or considerations, and reach concurrence.

For those members who may be new to the process of concurrence, we ask that you:

1. Read the position statement and discern any questions you may have with how it is written. It will need to be approved as written if our League is to give concurrence with the position.

2. Bring any questions to the Evening with the League meeting on February 16th, 5:30 at Sufficient Grounds Coffeehouse, 711 W. McKinley Avenue in Mishawaka.

3. Share your feedback, questions, or concerns with the group.

The LWV South Bend Area Board thanks you in advance for your participation and sharing. We look forward to seeing you and discussing this and other important issues.
