Wilsonville Rd & Town Center Loop East (by the Wilsonville Library).

​

Guidance from LWVUS: “LWVUS has decided to become an official partner for this day of mobilization to stand in solidarity with partners and stand up against hate and authoritarianism. For

Leagues who decide to mobilize for No Kings, please utilize our protest safety guidance and “How to Organize a Rally in 8 Steps” resource on the League Management Site. If representing the League or wearing LWV shirts (which we encourage), please use good judgment when creating signs and

participating in nonpartisan chants. The national staff will have additional guidance in the weeks

ahead.”

Nancy Murray joined the League in 1974 during Nixon’s Watergate

hearings. New to Oregon with a two-year-old daughter, League was

the perfect place to make friends and learn about her new

hometown. She learned from experienced League leaders who

directly participated in city government as volunteers and observers.

and participated in local, state and national League studies.

In 1979, Nancy was elected President. Her most significant

contribution, with the help of a land use attorney, was to force a

developer’s compliance with the new, stricter environmental rules in

the City’s Code to protect existing wildlife habitat, sensitive natural areas and to provide open space

in the new Westlake development in Lake Oswego.

In 1986, Nancy served as Action Chair for the State League, organizing a large group of League

members from around the state to lobby their representatives. Nancy’s League leadership led to her

election to the Lake Oswego School Board, 1987 to 1991.

Over the years, Nancy juggled League participation with her job, organized and traveled on a

grant-funded teacher trip to South Africa in 1995, earned her M.A., and worked abroad in France. She

served as our League treasurer from 2014 to 2025 and during that same period served as an integral

member of our League's executive committees.

Thank you, Nancy, for your years of dedicated service.

Excitement is brewing as we build our new partnership with the Girl Scouts of Oregon/South

Washington. The LWVOR board has purchased Voter Girl for statewide use. Each county league can use the materials to build troop relationships with local Girl Scouts.

Voter Girl is a proprietary badge program with age appropriate civics activities and projects for Girl

Scouts in all K-12 levels. The plug in ready package has everything needed for implementation:

LWV/GS collaboration, civics ed lessons, troop projects, PR, logos, art, badge design, etc.

If you are interested in working with a local troop, please contact Meg Thompson to find out how to

get involved at votergirl@lwvor.org.
