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 Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings 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.
Thursday caucuses will have to be held in personal hotel rooms because we will not have access to the venue space until Friday morning. Friday and Saturday evening caucuses may be held in one of the three meeting rooms we have reserved at Heathman Lodge, at a table in the main meeting room, or in individual hotel rooms. The meeting rooms have projectors, cameras, and screens. If you would like to show a PowerPoint presentation, you may 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 15 will be included in the Workbook. Requests that come in after that date will only be listed on the Convention website.
