LWV-TLC Board of Directors (BOD) is comprised of 9 elected members. There are 5 officers and 4 Directors-at-Large. They are on rotational terms with elections at the Annual Meeting in the Spring. The Board provides organizational direction and leadership ensuring the organization is acting in line with its mission for serving others and is responsible for the overall growth of the LWV-TLC. The president(s) also serve as the link among our chapter and the national and state Leagues of Women Voters

The Finance Committee provides financial oversight of LWV-TLC, monitoring monthly reports, conducting regular audits, and preparing annual budgets. Its members help ensure that the League has the necessary resources to provide programming and deliver its mission in the community.

Joining LWV is the threshold for entering the League’s non-partisan political and civil world that works to educate and advocate for citizen rights.

In order to meet its goal to protect and defend democracy, LWV-TLC relies on donations to support LOCAL programming such as Naturalization, Education, and Voter Services. To raise money, LWV-TLC conducts an annual campaign, garage sale, and other special events. We also take advantage of programs such as Kroger Community Rewards Program. Volunteer participation makes this possible. There are four sub-committees for F&D; they include: Annual Campaign, Corporate and Large Donors, Partnerships with other Organizations and Agencies, Grant Writing, and Special Events.
