Doute to speak at Women Voters Solano County meeting in June

Members of the public are invited to join the League of Women Voters Solano County at 7 p.m. June 2 to hear guest speaker Stephanie Doute, the new executive director of the California League.

Doute will talk about current league initiatives and issues of concern to the league and its members.

“The League has experienced a wave of renewed activism in recent years and Stephanie is ready to leverage that energy to increase the League's impact in advocacy and voter education,” said Carol Moon Goldberg, president of the League of Women Voters of California, when Doute was hired in November.

Named to the prestigious Association Forum's Forty Under 40 list of association and non-profit professionals, and with more than 15 years' experience working in the non-profit sector, Doute is an accomplished executive with a passion for advocacy and elevating women's voices.

“It is my honor to join this important organization at a time when women are making a critical impact on our democracy,” Doute said in a news release. “I believe in the power of women to use our voices, talents and passion to create the world we want to live in and make a more perfect democracy. Women are playing a central role in our state's advocacy and the League is at the forefront of this movement. I am proud to join advocates across our state to continue empowering voters and driving civic engagement.”

Members of the public can watch and listen to Doute's speech on the LWVSC website: https:// my.lwv.org/california/solano-county/event/lwv-solano-county-annual-meeting beginning at 7 p.m. The agenda for the LWVSC meeting is at 6:30 p.m. includes voting on revisions to LWVSC bylaws, nominating and electing officers for 2022-23, reviewing budget proposals, discussing program recommendations, and reports on the two-year Solano League priorities for 2021-2022.
