League of Women Voters of Skagit County
March Meeting Details
When: Saturday, March 15, 10:00 AM
Topic: Welcoming Immigrants to Washington State Study
At our monthly program meeting on Monday March 3, we watched a presentation by the committee studying the topic of Welcoming Immigrants to Washington State Study. Those attending in person and virtually agreed that the state committee did an excellent job researching the topic and many wanted to participate in the consensus process to allow more opportunity for discussion locally.
This will take place on Saturday, March 15, at Burlington Haggen Conference Room, from 10 am - noon. Margaret Colony has graciously volunteered to lead the discussion and process. Several people present on Monday will attend and all of you are welcome to join the group to participate or observe.
It was decided that in person is the best way for this discussion. In preparation, please refer to this link, where you will be able to view the presentation we watched on Monday by clicking in the blue box in the first section. In addition, the Files section has links to read the entire study or sections of it, as well as to view the consensus questions. The 4th section is the Executive Study which we recommend as a minimum read in preparation for the meeting.
Margaret can be reached at mcolony@wavecable.com or (206) 335-3172.
It's a great topic for those living in Skagit County and under the current political circumstances. Please join us.
If you would like to preview this work and even review the consensus questions, please go to: https://lwvwa.org/immigration. This will allow the opportunity for another consensus process to submit to the state League if there is enough interest.
