(formerly “Children at Risk LWVOR”)
A consensus meeting on the LWVOR 2023 “Caring for Our Children” study of childcare methods in Oregon will be held January 16, 3-5:30 pm at Phoenix Library
Members of the LWVRV are invited to attend this meeting to participate in the consensus process for the League’s “Caring for Our Children,” study which was approved in 2023. The consensus process is essential to the development of League position statements that reflect the views of our members.
“Consensus” means a general agreement by members, not a strict voting process.
