Do you want to hold a caucus on a particular topic? Caucuses are informal gatherings outside of the regular business meeting times (after the evening program). They may be on:
- Informational on topics of general interest where you would like to see a task force created, a committee convened, or a toolkit developed.
- Sharing of resources/knowledge—for example, technology, voter service outreach, civic education projects
- Brainstorming/problem-solving sessions
- Or anything you want to discuss with your League colleagues!
Early request will mean that your Caucus can be listed in the Convention Workbook—otherwise, the information will be announced and posted on the Information Board at Convention.
We have blocked out time on Saturday evening for caucuses. You will need to provide your own technical expertise. We will have the ability to schedule some caucuses on the LWVWA Zoom account, but you may need to provide your own Zoom account if we have too many requests for simultaneous caucuses. These will NOT be recorded by LWVWA.
Saturday evening caucuses may be held in one of the three classrooms we have reserved at South Puget Sound Community College, at a table in the main meeting room, or in gathering areas in the hallways. The classrooms have projectors, cameras, whiteboards, and screens. If you would like to show a PowerPoint presentation, you may either bring a USB drive to plug into the built-in computer in the podium, or connect a personal laptop to the HDMI cable at the podium. If you do NOT have an HDMI port on your laptop, you will need to bring your own adapter ("dongle").
Caucus requests received before May 1 will be included in the Workbook. Requests that come in after that date will only be listed on the Convention website.
