Save the date for the upcoming Biennial Convention. We're always on the mission to protect voting rights, advocate for democracy reform, get big money out of politics, and safeguard free and fair elections. Needless to say, but the Maine League stands out among any other state Leagues because of the momentum we carry behind our membership, volunteer efforts, and advocacy work. This year's Convention will be hosted virtually on Zoom.
What is Convention?
Every two years, we host a Convention in which League members elect officers and directors, adopt programs, make bylaws changes, and adopt a budget. It's a formality common to every State League, but it's also an exciting opportunity to network and engage on relevant issues with fellow League members and with national and state experts. We'll mail you a Convention packet after you have registered. This packet will include a booklet, swag items, postcards, and a variety of other goodies.
I'm not officially a League member. Can I still attend?
Yes! Convention is open to everyone in the League community. We'll have a great lineup of speakers and workshops that you won't want to miss. However, if you want to participate in the voting process, you must be a League member. Click here to learn more about becoming a member. We do not want the cost of dues to be a barrier to membership. Anyone can be a League member, and with the "Pay As You Can" option, you can create the monthly or annual rate that works best for you.
Is there a cost to attend?
There is no cost to attend Convention. However, if you choose to donate, your donation will go towards the cost of running convention (i.e. print materials, booklets, and swag items). Additional funds will go towards sponsoring future League members, because we do not want the cost of dues to be a barrier to membership.
