B. Program & Concurrence – Sally Clarkson
Concurrence in the League of Women Voters (LWV) is a formal decision-making process where a League (local, state, or national) agrees to adopt or update a position on an issue that was originally developed and adopted by another League. It allows Leagues to leverage the research and study efforts of other Leagues without starting a new study from scratch.
