Congratulations to the new LWVCCFL Board Officers:

  • President: Ingrid Jimenez
  • Vice President: Martha Hoover
  • Financial Director: Hugh Havlik
  • Recording Secretary: Jean Finks

Thank You

Thank you to the Nominating Committee for their great work seeking out potential board nominees for the election Jan. 18.

And thank you to the past board members for their dedication to the LWVCCFL. Their tireless work has revived and brought many changes to our local League!

The organization recognizes Teresa Jenkins, Liz Leone, Steve Nelson, Cheryl Temple and Avice Sunter, past board officers, for their service.


The League of Women Voters of Charlotte County is an organization that can be counted on to provide City of Murals, Punta Gorda, FL impartial educational information on issues and candidates as well as one that, when taking a firm position on an issue, does so only after thoughtful study. It is these two seemingly contradictory roles that give the League its real strength – providing complete information on both sides of an issue in one instance and advocating for or against an issue in another.

Roles

Founded in 1968, the League of Women Voters of Charlotte County serves these important roles in our community: Voter Service, Citizen Education, Study and Action.

League Structure

The League of Women Voters works at the local, state, and national levels. Started as a MAL unit, the LWV of Charlotte County now has full League status.

This Chapter operates on a 'Team Leadership' concept.

We are looking for volunteers to participate in the FL-LWV Lobbying Corps! Contact us if you are interested in getting more involved in lobbying.

Mission

We encourage the informed and active participation of citizens in government and influence public policy through education and advocacy.

LWVCCFL does not support or oppose any political party or candidate for office. We are a non-partisan political organization affiliated with the League of Women Voters of Florida and the League of Women Voters of the United States. Filled with members from all political parties, the League takes an active and educated role in government.

Read the Non-Partisan Policy

The organization is NOT for women only!

Goal

Our Goal is to empower citizens in order to shape a better community.

A headline from the Florida Voter in the Fall of 1998 described the League best when it stated, "We're political yet non-partisan - proactive not stagnant."
