Please join us Saturday, April 29, 2017, 8 am - 5 pm at Forsgate Country Club for the 62nd Biennial State Convention of the League of Women Voters of New Jersey: Growing the Grassroots.
The evening before Convention, Friday, April 28, please join the League of Women Voters of New Jersey to celebrate "Making Democracy Work" with a cocktail reception and awards ceremony at the Forsgate Country Club at 6:30 pm. The League will be presenting our prestigious "Making Democracy Work" awards to deserving honorees in honor of their work educating, engaging, and protecting New Jersey voters.

We hope that you will make a weekend of it, spending Friday and Saturday celebrating at both the cocktail reception and Convention. We are offering a $40 discount when you register for these events together using the option available during the registration process.
Information about delegate representation: Convention is open to all, but only delegates can cast votes. Delegates are chosen by local Leagues, MAL units or ILOs and shall include the President/Leader or other authorized representatives. Delegates must be voting members of the League of Women Voters of New Jersey. In addition to the President/Leader, each local League or MAL unit in good standing is allotted one more voting member up to the first 25. When the number reaches 26, an additional delegate shall be authorized (thus a total of 3 delegates at 26 members), and one more delegate for every 25 additional voting members above that number according to the count on January 31, 2017. If you are unsure how many delegates your League is entitled to, please contact Pat Thompson at contact@lwvnj.org.
We look forward to an energizing and productive state Convention!
Register Now! Registration deadline is April 24, 2017.
