The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

The League of Women Voters has been a nonpartisan civics resource since 1920. History teaches that our democracy is only as strong as the citizens who comprise it. The Pensacola Bay Area chapter aims to encourage citizen participation in government through grassroots efforts to keep voters informed and active. Our research, meetings on a variety of local topics, and regular publications are designed for the public and government officials alike. Information is available online here and at the League of Women Voters, Florida website, www.lwvfla.org. Public meetings resume in September, and usually fall on the third Saturday of the month, at 9 a.m., at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition. New members are always welcome.

Deborah L. Nelson
President, LWVPBA
