2024 Holiday Brunch

 
What Should Be Our Focus in 2025?
What Should We Learn More About to Help Us Better Understand
and Navigate
  These Challenging Times?
You Can Help Us Answer Those Questions by Completing 
the 2025 Public Programs Survey
 
 The Public Programs Committee would like your input as we develop the 2025 program agenda. Please complete the survey (see the link below) which identifies 4 program areas already suggested by League members.  However, if you have other areas you believe we should address next year, please include them. Your voice is important.
 
We ask that you complete the short survey by December 16. Thank you!
