Consensus Process
“Without League member consensus (agreement) there can be no position and with no position there can be no advocacy which is what we’re all about.”
Decline of Local News Study by League of Women Voters of Washington
It’s time to “study the study” to determine if our Local league agrees with the issues identified in the study. Your unit will be having one or more consensus discussion meetings. Our League must let the state League know if we agree.
Materials
Please look over these three documents to prepare for these discussion meetings:
Please note: the study is long – 133 pages! If you can’t bring yourself to read the entire report, please at least read the Preface and Executive Summary (10 pages in all) and the section called “Quick Takes” which summarizes the entire report in three pages, starting page 76.
