Organization: League of Women Voters - Rochester Chapter

Sector: 501C-3 Non-Profit

Organization Mission: As we enter our 2nd Century, it’s time to reflect on how we should carry out our work going forward as local Leagues, the State and National League, all working together to accomplish our shared mission to empower voters and defend democracy. We are assembling a group of League leaders to help us specifically evaluate the State League role at this time, and to provide guidance to the State Board on how to best position its resources of time, talents and treasures within the next two years to build a foundation of success for our 2nd Century.
