How involved is membership in the League?

You can become as involved as you'd like. Many members like belonging to a local League in their own community and meeting for regular discussion of the issues. Others prefer "at large" membership and simply receive and read informative mailings that cover our state and national agenda. You will also be placed on your local League mailing list, if there is one in your area. Each member participates in the League as individual time permits. There is definitely a place for everyone and every lifestyle. Even if you don't have the time now to be active in the League, your membership is important to our continued success.

Every member strengthens the League's voice!
