Annual Program Planning Meeting

January 22, 2022

9:30 AM to 10 AM Meet and Greet Zoom Meeting (Invitation Below)
10 AM—Noon, Zoom Meeting Overview

LWVCNM members will meet to discuss the educational and advocacy paths to pursue in 2022-23. National, state and local LWVCNM positions are listed in your member handbook. Currently, concurrence with the LWVCA position on Criminal Justice is being discussed on both the LWVNM state as well as on all of the local NM League levels. This position will be the focus of our meeting, but if you are interested in proposing a new position or an update to a current position for discussion, please prepare a short summary of the issue or revision to present at the meeting. For background information on the LWVCA position on Criminal Justice, please review:

A Few FAQs

Do I need to propose a position or revision to a position to attend?

No. All LWVCNM members are invited to this excellent way to learn how the League planning process works. Whether you are proposing a position or attending as a learning experience, please review your Member Handbook for current local, state, and national positions. PLEASE BRING YOUR MEMBER HAND- BOOK TO THE MEETING.

How is Program Planning different from Calendar Planning?

The annual Calendar Planning meeting selects the topics for our monthly educational unit meetings. Meeting topics are planned through September 2022 and we will meet again in June to plan the next round of topics and dates.

The annual Program Planning meeting results in the education and advocacy positions adopted to move our mission forward. Principles and positions on public policy and actions/activities to implement these principles/positions will then be considered by the Board in March and adopted at the LWVCNM Annual Meeting in May, along with recommended action to implement the proposals.

If I propose a position for study or update to a current position, what work is involved?

As mentioned, you will need to write a brief summary of the proposed study or update, how the position could lead to local League action with the government entity impacted, and why this is a timely subject for League attention. You should also be willing to serve on a committee to conduct the study/review and as- sist in the recruitment of other members to the committee.

Were there any new proposals/revisions to existing positions adopted by the Board as the result of last year’s Planning Meeting?

While no new LWVCNM studies were initiated by the proposals presented, the Climate Action proposal led to actionable steps on the concepts presented or related issues.

Additionally, the Program Planning Meeting provides an open forum to discuss LWCNM opportunities and challenges. The meeting concluded with a discussion on member engagement in the Age of COVID.
