What is LWV UMRR, and what does it do?

The League of Women Voters Upper Mississippi River Region Inter League Organization was incorporated in 2015.  UMRR is one of two multi-state ILOs in the LWV-iverse. 

​Our unique structure and geography mean that we have a role beyond the scope of local Leagues, and a mission to educate our member so we can amplify their voices across dozens of Congressional districts throughout the Upper Mississippi River basin.  

In this video, Gretchen Sabel, first Chair of UMRR, explains how this ILO is organized, how it came to be, and what it does. This talk was given for the Annual Meeting of an other Inter League Organization - the Council of Metropolitan Area Leagues in Minnesota - on May 20, 2023.
