Program

Program can be thought of as the League's issues for emphasis, or the issues that we choose to focus on at local, state, and national levels. Program can include three components: study, education, and action. 

The Program Planning process is part of what makes the League a grassroots organization—each League member has the opportunity to influence the selection of issues where the League will focus time, talent, and money.

Every two years, members of local Leagues engage in national and state Program Planning. Based on the results of this process, both the national and state Board of Directors make recommendations to the biennial convention delegates about the Program to be adopted for the coming two-year period. In addition, yearly legislation priorities are set.

In addition to the adopted Program, Leagues may choose to take action on additional issues that arise, provided there is a position on the issue. For example, our local League might choose to take action on a proposed local ordinance.
