LWVW Board meetings
LWVWestport Board meetings are open to all members. We are always delighted to welcome guests. We just ask that you simply observe the discussion and not join in. Non-board members are sometimes invited to speak on a specific agenda item on which they have special knowledge or expertise. If they choose to stay for the balance of the meeting, the same guidelines apply.
