Join us for the League of Women Voters of Arizona Biennial Convention, where we’ll come together with courage, perseverance, and bold action. At a time when democracy faces unprecedented challenges, we are called to unite, raise our voices, and take meaningful steps to protect our rights and our communities.
This convention isn’t just about dialogue—it’s about momentum. We honor the legacy of the suffragists by continuing their work: building collective power, defending democracy, and inspiring action across Arizona and beyond.
This is your chance to be part of Our Bold, Courageous Response. A Movement for the Moment, boldly answering the Call to Defend and Preserve Democracy. Register now, and let’s build a stronger League for the years ahead.  Open to all League members—whether you’re attending as a delegate or not.
PRE-CONVENTION WORKSHOP - Bylaws, Budget, Public Policy Positions and what to expect at convention. This workshop is open to both delegates and non-delegates. We urge delegates to attend to further their understanding of the items on which they will be voting. The workshop will be virtual on ZOOM and are offered at two different dates and times. Each workshop will cover the same information.
