Shout Out to our Volunteers!

Many thanks to our communications volunteers! In addition to the Voter editors Becca Verda and Theresa Kingma, volunteer Jill Bork has been creating the event posts and email announcements on our website.

Our contract communications specialist Carolyn Stewart goes above and beyond in keeping our social media presence fresh.

And our communications coordinator Robin Barker keeps the website up-to-date.

Jill’s life has gotten busier so we’re looking for someone new to help post events, and a writing team is being assembled to provide more content. The League does great things–we want the community to know about them!

Contact communications@lwvbellinghamwhatcom.org if you'd like to help.
