League of Women Voters of the Bay Area

The League of Women Voters of the Bay Area (LWVBA) was formally established in California's San Francisco Bay Area in 1961 to address regional concerns. The LWVBA is a non-partisan political organization and its mission is to encourage citizen participation in government and influence public policy through education and advocacy. Composed of more than 20 local Bay Area leagues, the LWVBA is organized under the League of Women Voters of the United States as an inter-league organization. As one of the oldest organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area concerned with regional solutions to area wide problems, the LWVBA has adopted programs on regional government, regional planning, and many other programs of public interest.
