Discussion Groups

LWVMC Members and their guests may participate in regular Discussion Group meetings to share information about LWVMC programs and activities. Some meetings are designed to update members on recent League activities. Other meetings focus on current policy issues and members discuss possible advocacy positions (examples of policy discussions from our 2024-2025 program year appear below).

Discussion Groups are generally held in the middle of the month. They may be in-person, virtual by Zoom, or hybrid. A link for the Zoom sessions will be sent to every member before Discussion Groups are held. If you have questions, please email Mary Ellen Condon at discussiongroups@lwvmocomd.org.
