Community Involvement & Service
The LWV plays a vital role in educating the community about the election process. We host candidate forums,
from the national presidential forum to our local school and park boards.
Many of our members are voter registrars, helping citizens register to vote.
Our studies lead to action - such as our three-year study of the needs of the Elmhurst Public Library that led to the
Elmhurst League's support for, and the community's subsequent passage of the referendum to build and equip the new library.
Our Commitment
Each Member participates in the League as personal time and preference permit. There is a place for everyone
and every lifestyle.
Even if you don't have the time now to be active, your membership is important to the League's continued success. Every
member strengthens the voice of the League - and increases our impact.
