SUMMARY:Leadership Development Workshop
DESCRIPTION:While being a “leader” is usually a position\, leadership is a practice anyone can use any place any time.  Through building relationships\, communicating clearly\, leading by example\, and celebrating the contributions of others\, any League member can work to empower voters and defend democracy through leadership in everyday life. The LWVBC invites you to join fellow members in a 2-hour leadership development workshop where we will explore paths to engagement outside of positional leadership roles.  The workshop will be facilitated by League Co-President Janet Rechtman\, who\, prior to retirement\, led leadership development workshops for the J.W. Fanning Institute of Leadership Development at University of Georgia.   We will meet on Sunday\, August 11 from 1 to 3 PM at First Baptist Church\, 850 Palmetto Ave.\, in Chico.

SUMMARY:Center For Common Ground GOTV Postcard Event
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Get Out The Vote (GOTV) postcarding event for the general election! We have partnered with the Center for Common Ground (CFCG) to send postcards to Black women voters in Texas. Is Postcarding Effective? YES!Hard data from the last several years of CFCG postcarding work have yielded the encouraging fact that postcarding increases voter engagement and reaches voters who do not have a phone number on file or may not have mobile phones for texting outreach. Click here to see the CFCG report. And here is a one-pager with some eye-popping data.  We will provide all the material; all you have to do is show up ready to write!Please RSVP to Lucia Tedesco (see her contact info below) to receive the address.
