      <title>LWVWA Council (06 Jun 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The League of Women Voters of Washington, together with volunteers from Leagues across South Puget Sound, cordially invite you to beautiful Lacey, Washington, for our 2026 Council. The 2026 LWVWA Biennial Council will be held on June 6 and 7 at the &lt;a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/FkzRoGb1yWbscD1j7" target="_blank"&gt;South Puget Sound Community College's Lacey Campus&lt;/a&gt;, with optional activities on Friday, June 5.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Think of Council as an Innovation Lab—a place where members and leaders come together to learn, share, and shape the future of the League. The theme for this year’s Council, which is June 6-7, reflects the multiple layers of the League:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A"&gt;Our power as individual members and leaders in our local Leagues in our communities,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A"&gt;Our power to innovate, breathing new practices into our work to empower voters and defend democracy,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#1A1A1A"&gt;Our power in coalition with the many partners with whom we collaborate.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
