Scope and Contents

From the Series:

This series documents the administrative history of the organization from 1951-2016. It includes the meeting minutes from the Board of Directors, committee files, correspondence, financial and legal records, chapter meeting minutes, membership handbooks and lists, digital newsletters, as well as publicity and outreach records. The Board of Director and chapter minute records document the governance process of the organization and outline the structure of the committee system, as well as general correspondence and communication with the National League. The financial and legal records include treasurer reports, grant applications, and some documentation on the by-laws and the chapter division records from 1967-1972. The Publicity and Outreach files include general program and events, fund-raising correspondence and voter outreach through various media sources. The LWVSJSC chapter has worked hard to promote civic responsibility through educational programming and careful study of the actions of importance to the community, but due to the fluid nature of the organization and the lack of a permanent office, the official records have been collected and maintained by individual members. Thus, the records documenting formation of the chapter is scattered. The bulk of this series documents the history of the organization from the 1960s through 2000.
