League of Women Voters of New Jersey  59th Biennial State Convention

Please join us April 30, 2011 for the 59th Biennial State Convention of the League of Women Voters of New Jersey!  Don't miss this important opportunity to reconnect with other League members while shaping the future of the League.

Convention will feature:

• An awards ceremony honoring the service of local Leagues and the contributions of outstanding individuals, moderators, and 50-year members;
• A silent auction;
  
• A raffle drawing where you will have the chance to win a new laptop, iPad2, or Kindle;
• Caucuses on topics such as immigration, natural resources, voting, moderating and membership;
• Networking with other League leaders;
  
• And, of course, the business of voting on program, nominations, bylaws, and the budget.

The luncheon keynote speaker will be John Mooney, founding editor of NJspotlight.com.  Mr. Mooney has covered education in New Jersey for 15 years as a reporter for the Newark Star-Ledger and The Bergen Record and recently as a contributing writer for The New York Times.  He has won numerous state and national awards, including honors from the Education Writers Association and the American Society of News Editors.

Marcia Merrins, LWVUS Board Member, will lead an important discussion on defending the League's nonpartisan stance, "The League - Nonpartisanship and Elections in a New Era".

We look forward to an energizing and productive state Convention.  See you there!
