2010 Annual Meeting Successful

Many thanks to all our members who attended the 2010 Annual Meeting on May 1st, and also to the Pensacola Bay Area League members who joined us. We extend a very special thanks to Marilynn Wills of the State League, who drove in from Tallahassee to speak to us about the just-ended legislative session. It was a very successful meeting, and we look forward to even more success as we approach the 2010 general elections.

Synopsis of Business Meeting. Members present unanimously approved:

• Re-adoption of our Local League program, which includes the transportation position adopted by concurrence in January;
• Proposed changes to the By Laws, which added a new membership category for members paying $100 or more per year in dues and more accurately specified the nature of and removed the deadline for the annual financial examination;
• The proposed budget, which raised annual dues for a single member to $50 ($25 for students and/or the second member from the same household), to cover increases at both state and national level; and
• The proposed slate of officers and board members for the 2010-11 year.

Congratulations to our leadership for 2010-11:

President - Mary Blackwell
1st Vice President - Mary Hahn
2nd Vice President - Stanley Berg
Treasurer - Carol Davis
Secretary - Nancy Mitchell
Directors - Rodney Debs, Fran Goodall, Margaret Pierson and Jennie Langham
2011 Nominating Committee - Jeannett Debs (Chair), Bill Garvie and Doris Berg

Your Email Address: The Key to Being an Informed League Member!

To effectively and efficiently communicate within the organization, League employs technologies – such as email – that achieve the broadest reach possible. LWVUS does not sell or trade member email addresses! They send only one email each month with the LeaguE-Voice to all members with email addresses. LWVUS also sends occasional national action alerts to those on the grassroots lobby list, and leaders receive a regularly timed update once a week. Email is easily deleted if you don’t want to read it, but if you don’t receive it – you may miss out on important League materials!

Be sure the League has your email address! Individual members can add their own email address to the national database through the national website, www.lwv.org. Use the “For Members” dropdown menu and select “Update Your Information.” Be sure to let your League know you want to receive electronic information.
