About this event
Our March 10, 2025 Consensus Meeting will be a doubleheader! We will discuss and come to consensus on two separate studies, one local and one national.
Our Local Study is Phase II following last year’s study of our Local Support Positions. In May 2024 we approved a new preamble and a grid of recommended changes to each section of the support positions. This year a task force of Jan Quinlan, Nancy Jones, and April Savage has been working on the specific updates. These updates will convert our Support Positions from an outline format into narratives more in line with LWVWI and LWVUS. At our March 10 meeting, we will review these changes, and discuss this consensus question: Do we accept the proposed updates for our LWV-Appleton Fox Cities local support positions?
To the learn more about the process, see what was changed in these position updates please reference this link to the page entitled: Overview Updates Local Support Positions.

LWVUS is studying the Federal Judiciary including the Supreme Court of the United States. Discussion will include ethics, SCOTUS structural reform, financial disclosures, recusal, transparency, independence, and representation. Study materials and consensus questions will be emailed to all active League members separately. Such a timely issue is on an accelerated timeline for the LWVUS since it is of great importance in our current political environment.
Before the meeting, we strongly encourage you to do your homework by reviewing the LWVUS Federal Judicial Study Materials. These materials include: a Study Guide which explains the LWV consensus process, policy briefs on a number of judicial issues, links to earlier LWV Town Halls, the consensus questions, and much more. We especially encourage you to view the
LWVUS February 4 National Town Hall which includes a panel of experts on these issues.
