The goal of the League of Women Voters of Baton Rouge is to empower citizens
to shape a better and more informed community on the local, state, and national level.
We are a nonpartisan political membership organization.

We act:

• in the public interest after study and member agreement to achieve solutions to key community issues at all government levels;
• to build citizen participation in the democratic process; and,
• to engage communities in promoting positive solutions to public policy issues through education and advocacy.

We believe in:

• respect for individuals;
• the value of diversity;
• the empowerment of the grassroots, both within the League and in communities; and,
• the power of collective decisions making for the common good.

We will:

• act with trust, integrity, and professionalism;
• operate in an open and effective manner to meet the needs of those we serve, both members and the public
• take the initiative in seeking diversity in membership; and, acknowledge our heritage as we seek our path to the future.
