Program Positions

The League of Women Voters of Colorado’s program consists of governmental issues chosen by members for study and ultimate action. This document is a summary of the LWV of Colorado’s position statements. It is the basis of LWVCO’s participation in advocacy activity.

The League of Women Voters is a grassroots organization. At the local, state and national League levels, action on public policy can be taken only after member study and consensus or, alternatively, concurrence, has led to a position. Consensus is a process whereby members participate in a group discussion of an issue. It is not a simple majority, or unanimity, rather it is the overall “sense of the group.” Concurrence is the act of agreeing with, or concurring with, recommendations from League committees, unit groups, League boards, or positions reached by other Leagues. Studies are done to revise or adopt new positions. Action is the ultimate aim of all League programs.

The League’s positions are in three areas: Government, Natural Resources, and Social Policy.
