With our local 2013-14 program we will form a committee to educate the community on CEDAW: what it is, it's history and where we are now; educate the community on violence against women here in the Elgin Area; build a partnership and join the efforts of the LWVUS, LWVIL, United Nations-Chicago Chapter, the Community Crisis Center, the YWCA Elgin and other interested participants; and educate the community on how a UN Treaty becomes US law.

In order to promote and increase participation in public government, the local League will continue to collaborate with the Elgin YWCA with educational forums on "Running for Public Office."
