Membership Committees play an important role in keeping the League of Women Voters the most effective and respected grassroots organization in the country.

For over 100 years the League’s Membership Committees have successfully sought passionate activists who volunteer in all 50 states and in more than 700 communities; we have about 500 such activists and supporters here in our local League.

Committee Members come from varied backgrounds: for example, Research & Development, Marketing and Sales, Planning, Technology, Education and Administration.  A Membership Committee relies on skills from all those career paths along with heavy doses of creativity! 

Bringing new Members into the League involves leveraging existing relationships with individuals, communities, and other organizations – sometimes talking to someone at the right time.  But this is just the first step.  Retaining those members involves helping to uncover and engage their passions, recommend League activities to identify and develop leaders, and keep members knowledgeable and informed of historical facts and current events. 

To successfully complete our tasks, we often work closely with our local Board of Directors, our President and Treasurer, and our Communications Chair.  Roster Management involves updating information in the National League database and working with the State of Florida Executive Director to assure accuracy of member information.  All Membership activities and projects are filtered through the National League’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) lens.

Please join us on our exciting mission to grow and maintain a dynamic and influential membership base that is truly reflective of the communities we serve.  

Bob Rupe, Chair
