🌟 League Tools & Technologies Series: Master the Tools That Power Our Work 🌟
“Hitchhiker’s Guide to the LWV Galaxy of Websites” — it’s not rocket science, but a guide is always helpful!
Learn how to use the essential tools that power our League communications and mobilize members to action. This session will also serve as your “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the League Galaxy of Websites”—because while it’s not rocket science, having a guide is always helpful! We’ll show you how to confidently navigate the League’s national, state, and local websites to find critical information on policies, actions, and directives. You’ll learn how to locate and use blogs and news articles to stay informed and share insights with fellow members. Because the League’s websites—especially the national one—can be hard to navigate, this training is designed to make it easy for everyone to find what they need and get more engaged.
