INTEREST GROUPS

• The work of LWVCC is accomplished primarily through our four Interest Groups that are focused on different policy areas. The Interest Groups provide an opportunity for members to get involved.
• Join an Interest Group to work closely with other members, to learn more about Cook County and to discover how government operates.
• All three Interest Groups welcome new members. The Groups determine key issues and common interests of volunteers and create their own work plans.
