Welcome New Citizens
Morning Help Needed

Greetings. If you're a voter-registration volunteer, please consider donating a few precious hours to one of the New Citizen ceremonies at Harrah's on December 11. It's the end of a busy year for Voter Registration--and a tribute to the generosity and public service that is the core of LWVKC. Please log in and use the Volunteer page on our website; reminder, you must be DEI trained by LWVKC. It should be a particularly joyful day.

A Call to Action 
The Leadership Academy wants YOU!

Every successful organization depends on good leadership. Most large organizations value quality leadership so much they develop training programs to ensure a steady supply of leaders grows within the organization. But for this process to succeed, people within the organization must be willing to step into these training programs with the goal of continually moving up within the organization. So…we need you to join our newly-created LWVKC Leadership Academy.

Your contribution as a new leader will also bring fresh new ideas that every organization requires, both to keep up with changes in technology, and to provide competing perspectives of our path forward. Combined with other members of our first Leadership Academy cohort, you will help provide the foundation for our future success.
So, let us put our future in your hands by joining the Leadership Academy. Just contact League President Anne Calvert to get your name on the list.
Take care and stay safe.
