Citizenship In Action
The League of Women Voters of Mesa county is thoroughly dedicated to the fundamental principles of the League of
Women Voters and to its activities in support of those principles. The League
strives to implement those beliefs at the local - the grassroots
- level in Mesa County and in western Colorado. We assist and
encourage voter education, information, and recruitment throughout our
area and we strive to work cooperatively with others with
common interests.
The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
League Presentations
The Local LWVMesa offers topic presentations related to League of Women Positions. They cover local and state issues of current concerns to the voter. You do not have to be a member to attend, and men and women are encouraged to join our lively discussions!

The Civic Directory is a voter service publication that is distributed to organizations locally for a quick reference to our political resources. If you want a quick easy guide to current office holders, this publication will help you identify and contact your representative. We are grateful to our underwriter, Alpine Bank. They help with the cost of this publication.
