Ann Panthen joined the League in 2020. Her interest in the democratic process spurred her into getting more involved with the League and in 2021 she took over the position of Vice President, serving out a one-year term. In that position she is able to work with many of the League committees in the important work they do. Prior to retirement she spent her career in the world of public safety communications, primarily with METCAD 9-1-1, the police, fire, EMS dispatching system in Champaign County, retiring as Deputy Director in 2012. She currently works part-time in the Champaign County Historical Archives at The Urbana Free Library. Contact: [email protected]

Like the League of Women Voters of the US, the Illinois' League develops a set of policy positions. The League of Women Voters of Illinois' (LWVIL) policy platform was developed at its 2023 Convention and is outlined in a document entitled Where We Stand. It is a companion to the Impact on Issues, the League of Women Voters of the United States’ program book, and may be found on the LWVIL website in a comprehensive full version or a convenient abridged version. The LWVUS' Impact on Issues and the LWVIL's Where We Stand form the basis for all action taken by Illinois' Leagues on state and national issues.
