LWVAL 2019 LWVAL Transparency in Government Award
Read the media release
In 2015 the League of Women Voters of Alabama (LWVAL) created the Transparency in Government Award to recognize efforts to bring greater transparency to governmental decision-making in Alabama at any political level. Nominations for the award may be submitted by any individual or organization in Alabama or any local league, MAL unit, or member. This biennial award will be presented at the 2019 State Convention in Tuscaloosa, May 18-19, 2019.
LWVAL and its members believe that transparency in government is one of the major mechanisms for making government accountable to the people. It aids in creating an open and inclusive government and in enhancing public trust in government officials and their decisions.
Those nominated may include local and state political leaders, elected or appointed, and citizens and members of nonprofit organizations who have championed transparency in government.
Submit a nominee for the 2019 LWVAL Transparency in Government Award

Thank you to Don Dailey, anchor of APT's Capitol Journal for the opportunity to discuss the work of the League of Women Voters and the importance of voting. See the interview of LWVAL President Barbara Caddell on Oct. 12, 2018.
LWV Montgomery President Louvenia Graham has passed away.
From Louvenia's obituary in the Montgomery Advertiser, "Funeral services will be held Saturday, July 21, 2018 at 12:00 noon from Mobile Heights Baptist Church. Interment in Greenwood Cemetery." Read her obituary here.
The LWVAL sends its deepest sympathy to Louvenia's family and many friends in the Greater Montgomery area. She will be greatly missed by many in our organization.
