Calendar of Events
The LWV requires a camera or verbal check-in at the start of all of its online meetings. We do this to create a welcoming and open environment where we can hold each other accountable. Individuals unwilling to check-in will be removed from the meeting. To create a space for open and honest discussion, the League also prohibits attendees from recording meetings via AI Otterbox or other recording systems. Should you require a meeting transcript for accessibility accommodation, please contact info@lwvky.org in advance to discuss options.
