Community Connection: Convention 2014 Award Application

2014 Convention Award

Power: Our Voices, Our Votes Awards will reflect the Leagues’ work to strengthen our democracy, including protecting the right to vote and advocating for change.

Community Connection—This category aims to see how Leagues highlight issues that affect their local community and engage others (especially underrepresented communities including young people, low income Americans and new citizens) to become civically involved. One example might include working with university students or other community groups to offer training on how to facilitate a public meeting or debate around an issue of local concern.
