Members invited to take part in discussions on specific issues for state and national policy conversations
Before advocating on an issue, League members study the issue carefully. After studying an issue from all viewpoints, members discuss the study’s results. Then members must agree on a new “Advocacy Position Statement” through consensus.
Usually, these conversations happen in Discussion Units. If you’re not already part of a DU, look for a Member Message (email) about opportunities to join a unit for a consensus process conversation.
In the 2024-25 program year, local leagues have been asked to consider four positions/studies from the state and national Leagues.
