​Keeping It Local Series

Picture
This free Zoom program focuses on current issues that directly impact our community. Open to all league members and to the public; participants have the opportunity to ask questions. See the complete schedule for dates, times, and topics. If you miss a program, you can watch the recording on YouTube. ​

At the February 25 Keeping It Local program, three panelists—Regina Crider, Rantoul Village Board Member; Vanna Pianfetti, Champaign City Council Member; and Diane Wolfe Marlin, former Urbana City Council Member and Mayor—shared their experiences holding elected positions in Champaign County.  They provided advice for people considering  running for office for the first time and talked about the importance of participating in government. A summary of this  KIL panel discussion "Is Now the Time for You to Run for Public Office?"  can be found in News and Announcements and the video is available for viewing.

The League of Women Voters of Champaign County encourages civic engagement whether on a federal, state, or local level. ​
