“I am delighted to participate in the League’s 90 ^th birthday celebration, recognizing the achievement of so many hardworking women – and men – who, over the past 90 years, have worked to involve voters in our political process,” said Mickie Siebert. “True equality begins with being an active member of one’s community and exercising the right to vote.”

Through citizen education and advocacy, LWV works to improve our system of government and impact public policies.
