Action Team

The state board includes officers as well as directors (or co-directors) who head seven action teams for the LWVNE. Six of the seven LWVNE action teams mirror committees of the Nebraska Legislature. Every bill introduced to the Nebraska Legislature receives a hearing in a legislative committee. The various action teams of the LWVNE work on issues at the state level. Members from local Leagues across the state and members at large are encouraged to work with these LWVNE state action teams. Join Action Team Form.
