About League Studies

Members choose study topics that are of interest locally, statewide, and/or nationally. Studies, which are thorough in the pursuit of facts and details, are designed to lead to education or advocacy, two of the basic functions of the League. Members review Pros and Cons of different policies and goals throughout the study. Studies typically include small group discussions, speakers, and public forums. 

All League meetings and study sessions are open to the public. However, only League members are included in the consensus and position development at the end of the study.

When the League has reached a position, it calls on its grassroots strength to influence the shape of public policy. Each year members meet to determine program priorities for the coming months to focus advocacy for the most impact.
