LWV OPRF Annual Meeting

On Thursday, June 2, at 6:00pm, LWV OPRF will hold its 97th Annual Meeting. As per our Bylaws, attached you will find the packet of information for the meeting, minus the proposed Bylaws changes. The Bylaws changes will be sent out via a separate email this Thursday. The packet and the proposed Bylaws will also be posted on our website. This again will be a virtual meeting, and the Zoom registration link will be sent out next week. In addition to our business meeting, we will have Laura Davis, LWV IL Environmental Specialist, LWV Cook County Director, and LWV Palatine member, speaking to us about the Cook County Forest Preserve Referendum that will be on the November ballot. We hope all members will read the packet before the meeting to be prepared to vote on the 2022-23 Budget, Program, Bylaws changes, and Slate of Officers.
