 White Plains, NY - The League of Women Voters of Westchester (LWVW) has invited the county legislators to a “Coffee and Conversation” to be held on Friday, April 4, 2008, starting at 9:30 am in the Auditorium of the White Plains Public Library, 100 Martine Avenue.
The format will be an informal, roundtable discussion that is open to the public. All 17 members of the Board of Legislators have been asked to attend in order to discuss issues that are of interest to Westchester residents. There will be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions of the county legislators.
This roundtable discussion is the latest of three hosted by the League. In December 2007, the LWVW hosted a public breakfast meeting with the members of Westchester’s state legislative delegation. In February 2008, the LWVW hosted County Executive Andy Spano at our annual “Breakfast with the County Executive.” According to League President Mary Beth Gose, “Our goal is to have an informal dialogue with our elected representatives about topics that are of interest to Westchester residents. With these events, we are continuing our strong grassroots tradition of direct, in person communications.”
The League of Women Voters®, a nonpartisan grassroots organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. Membership is open to all citizens of voting age.
