2019 Program Planning - February 23 for Local

LWV Tanana Valley

On February 23 about twenty members met to review our local positions, and gather member input on current activities and interests. Members recommended reaffirming the General Local Government, Plannning and Zoning, Commissions and
Committees and Conflict of Interest local positions. Members recommended revising the Road Service Area local position.

LWV Alaska

On January 19 from 8:30am - noon at the IBEW we met to discuss Program Planning for the Alaska statewide League. Based on the discussions at the meeting we provided our recommendations to the state board on current state positions, revisions-in-progress, and any new statewide studies we think the LWVAK should take on.

LWVUS

On January 19 from 8:30am - noon we also talked about any issues related to the national organization (LWVUS) that we would like to move forward.

PURPOSE OF PROGRAM PLANNING

The purpose of Program Planning is to discuss where League should put its energies. The basic flow is:

We formulate recommendations for BOTH the LWV Alaska (for statewide issues) and the LWV Tanana Valley (for local activities).
These recommendations are presented to the LWVTV members for review.
The LWVTV Board receives and reviews the recommendations from the Progam Planning meeting and any member input, and makes final recommendations.
- The final recommendations to the LWVAK must be delivered to the State Board in time for them to be published to the general membership at least 30 days before the Annual Convention.
- The final recommendations to the LWVTV must be presented to the LWVTV members at least 30 days before the LWVTV Annual Meeting.
We discuss any requests from the national organization (LWVUS) and determine if there is anything LWVTV wishes to move forward to the LWVUS.

2018 Program Planning

Our Program Planning Meeting was held on January 27, 2018 at the IBEW Multipurpose Room on Airport Way. Fifteen - twenty members attended as we went through the business of examining our state and local positions, discussing our ongoing activities and prioirities and offering new ideas. We have also been asked to respond to LWVUS on advancing towards a more direct election of the president.

An online poll was offered to all our members to gather more input and guidance prior to submitting our final recommendations to the state board (for state issues) and our local membership (for local issues and activities). Final recommendations were delivered to the State Board on February 27.
