About Us


LWVGV was chartered in 1978 and has been serving the Gunnison Valley ever since by studying local issues, presenting voter information to the citizens, and making democracy work.  We incorporated as a Colorado nonprofit in 2016.

The League of Women Voters encourages informed and active participation in government and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

Mission

Empowering voters.
Defending democracy.


Vision

We envision a democracy where every person has the desire, the right, the knowledge and the confidence to participate.



Value

We believe in the power of women to create a more perfect democracy.



Non-Discrimination Policy
The League of Women Voters board, staff and volunteers should reflect the diversity of the organization, constituencies, and the broader community. To this end, there should be no barriers to participation in any activity on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, age, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, marital status, military or veteran status, political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender expression, or socioeconomic status. 


Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy:  We are fully committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in principle and in practice. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to the organization’s current and future success in engaging all individuals, households, communities, and policymakers in creating a more perfect democracy.
