Are the cities of South San Mateo County prepared for the approaching "senior tsunami" with an increase in non-driving residents? From a housing and land use perspective, what must our cities do to prepare for this dramatic demographic change?

Veteran land use planner and popular speaker Don Weden's answers may surprise you! Don't miss this opportunity to hear an eye-opening presentation about our future by a very engaging speaker!

Free admission. Open to the public. Invite a friend!

Volunteers needed for June 8th Elections

The Statewide Primary Election is June 8th: Pros & Cons Speakers needed!

Starting in April, our LWV Speakers Bureau will once again spring into action to help voters understand the five statewide ballot measures for the upcoming June 8 primary election

Enjoy learning about both sides of an issue? Enjoy speaking with small to medium-sized groups? The June election provides a great opportunity to try your hand as a League speaker, or come back to Speakers Bureau if you've been out for a while!

Our League Speakers Bureau is a fun, supportive, and energizing activity where we learn about the issues together and go out in pairs to share unbiased and non-partisan pros and cons with a variety of local civic and social groups.

We're always in demand, and always find an appreciative audience. Want to learn more? Or would you like to have a speaker come present the Pros and Cons to your group? Please ask!
