The Program of the League of Women Voters of Albany County consists of (A) those local government issues chosen for concerted study and action at the Annual Meeting and (B) action to implement LWV Principles. Local Program issues are situated within the County of Albany or any municipality or special district within Albany County.
The League’s public policy positions at the National (LWVUS) and state (LWVNYS) levels inform the development of local issues and positions. In addition to the local Program, LWVAC also advocates for active issues of LWVUS and LWVNYS. With the League tenet of "Speaking with One Voice" in mind, LWVAC takes those national and state public policy positions as a guide for members on how to take action, speak to an issue, or share our thoughts.
