GET INVOLVED
The LWVNE and the local Leagues offer many ways to get involved. You can join a local League if you live in Hastings, Lincoln, Greater Omaha or Seward. Local Leagues offer many activities and programs. If you live in other Nebraska communities, you can be a member-at-large of the state League. We encourage all members to be involved by serving on state committees.

Take action during the Legislative session
The Legislative sessions offer many opportunities to get involved and take action. You can get off the sidelines and effect change.
Community Partners
The League works with many community partners on a variety of issues and actions. Some partners offer updates during the Legislative session that are timely and helpful as things change rapidly at the Capitol.
