INFORMATION
ABOUT CONWAY LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS
The League of Women Voters of the United States was established in
1920, the year that woman suffrage was incorporated into the Constitution
of the United States. The League was originally part of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association which led the seventy-two year drive
for full and equal suffrage for women. The League was founded primarily
to assist the twenty million newly enfranchised women carry out their new
responsibilities and to encourage well-informed citizen participation in
government. The Conway League of Women Voters was granted provisional
status in April 1975 and granted membership in the League in December 1976.
Projects the League has undertaken include a survey of Conway municipal
agencies, services and organs of government for public distribution, forums
for political candidates for county and local offices, public service radio
spots and interviews, financial assistance to the National League of Women
Voters for ERA ratification, a local energy survey, involvement in local
educational issues, election law reform, the food stamp program, local
economic issues, and energy and solid waste management. The Conway
League has been active in working for fair elections, good government,
and community involvement.
