The League of Women Voters Oakland would be nothing without our members! We thank you one and all — new recruits and seasoned veterans — for your loyalty and support. In particular, we thank the hard working, dedicated volunteers who support the Membership Committee’s varied contributions.

Our Goal
The Membership Committee aims to create a meaningful membership experience where all feel included, engaged, and connected with LWVO. We are here to make sure every member of our League is seen, heard, and gets the most out of their connection with us!
Our Activities
But what exactly does Membership do? Many things! Including (but not limited to):
- Planning our quarterly Member Welcome Meetings, where both members and non-members can learn more about LWVO’s mission, get to know what our committees do, and meet fellow local League fans.
- Connecting new and current members with exciting volunteer opportunities that best match their passions, unique skills, and experience.
- Facilitate membership tracking and renewals to keep your contact information accurate and our chapter numbers strong.
- Engage our community members at local tabling events to provide LWVO membership information, assist in voter registrations, and get the word out about everything the League is doing.
- Develop and implement member outreach activities so we can learn what's working, what's not, and get ideas on how we can improve.
- Work cross-functionally with our other committees to ensure member and volunteer experiences are fulfilling and fun.
