INTEREST GROUPS
  • The work of LWVCC is accomplished primarily through 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.
