outstanding speakers including former Lt. Governors Bill Hobby and Bill Ratliff; former vice chair of the House education committee, Scott Hochberg; Anne Dunkelberg of the Center for Public Policy Priorities who will speak on the topic of health care; and Texas state’s Andrew Sansom on water.
• LWV-TX will consider positions on redistricting and capital punishment.

Holiday Gathering at aloftWe had a very festive celebration at the Aloft Hotel in December, an opportunity to just socialize, meet new friends, and talk about the League.
January Meeting Program on WaterThe Irving League of Women Voters presented a program about Irving’s water supply at its meeting on January 28 at the West Irving Library.
Todd Reck, director of Irving Water Utilities, shared a slide show that provided information on sources of Irving’s water, legislative concerns about water and
the importance of conservation. He also touched on infrastructure and how repairs and relocating pipes because of roadway projects affect water fees. Funding for water projects has been proposed in Texas House bills, including using $2 billion from the rainy day fund to jump-start regional projects. With drought conditions and a growing population major concerns, Texas and Irving are trying to plan ahead. Visit cityofirving.org/water-utilities.
More on Water: The Dallas Morning News ran an informative article about water on its front page on January 22.

VoTER REGISTRATIoNVoter ID laws still in courts
Voter ID litigation continues with the Texas challenge to preclearance provisions of the Voting Rights Act and the Texas appeal of the preclearance denial to the Supreme Court. Texas has indicated that it will appeal the ruling that the photo ID requirement is discriminatory.
LWV-TX opposes the requirement as an unnecessary bar-rier to eligible voters.
Deputy Registrars
New requirements for eligibility as volunteer deputy regis-trars are pending implementation. To this effect, the Dallas County Elections Department is offering training classes on a rolling basis. Irving League members have been apprised of the schedule of classes for 2013, with the expectation that we may be able to rely on a larger pool of certified Volunteer Deputy Registrars to carry out registration activities at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Voter registration is the key to getting Americans to participate in the political process. Elections to select city council and school board members are scheduled for May 2013, while in 2014 Texas will be voting on candidates for the U.S. Senate.
With the aim of placing some priority on citizenship and integration issues, and on the basis of its reputation of un-dertaking nonpartisan informational projects, the League is encouraged to engage in the organization of workshops in general areas of government and public policy. This activ-ity will complement voting registration efforts at the USCIS and expand our outreach in the Irving community.
Our new citizens are anxious to learn about the rights and

responsibilities of citizenship, civic participation, and to attain an in-depth appreciation of U.S. history and govern-ment. It is incumbent upon organizations like the League to help them become active and informed community mem-bers and workers.
Efforts are underway to explore other local resources in order to that the Irving League may enter into a partnership with a fellow organization and gather teaching materials and ideas from more experienced programs. Moreover, the USCIS offers free training workshops for adult educators, volunteers and teachers. These workshops are designed among other things, to enhance the skills needed to teach U.S. history and civics to immigrant students.

MEMbER LEADERShIP DEVELoPMENT (MLD)
In the fall of 2005, our national organization confronted what has been a challenge for the League over the past 30 years of our over 90 year history: Can something be done about membership decline?
Currently many long-standing organizations are dealing with this issue, but our state and local leagues are so for-tunate that national is helping us address this. To answer the question, national did their own research and engaged outside specialists to assist. They conducted interviews with stakeholders, examined organizations who conduct similar work and reviewed news clips that featured LWV.
This research was the foundation for the strategic decisions that created the Member Leadership Development (MLD) program.
The general findings were:•The League has a highly respected reputation and
a strong and proud history. However, while there is great name recognition of the League of Women Vot-ers, there is limited awareness about the value that the League membership offered to potential members.
•Their greatest overall finding was that individuals outside the organization do not have a clear under-standing of the value in becoming a member of LWV because current members are not communicating this in a consistent way that resonates with potential

members. The best practices of this program were designed to address this challenge.
National also added components to the program to help Leagues develop leaders within the community. This helps us to engage and retain members which makes the lo-cal League stronger and ultimately serves our democracy. Building blocks for success and methods to implement them were then created. Finally an organization for quality and consistent coaching was developed.
A national coaching team was developed and is funded through the Ruth S. Shur Fellowship. This has been rolled out to the state organizations by national; that process was completed in December.
Your Irving League of Women Voters now benefits from a state coach and a written program that rivals what some of the best organizations in the nation have as developmental guidelines.
Your local League has already reached out to others by inviting friends to attend the annual Christmas social. With no formal program, it was a great opportunity to get to visit with the guests and tell them one-on-one about the League.
At the January board meeting, the program was formally presented to the board, and this tool will be used this year and in future years to enhance this fifty-six-year-old organi-zation right here in Irving.Janice Carroll, MLD Chair, LWV Irving
STATE PRESIDENT’S uPDATE
Come to Lobby Days/Statewide Conference/Making Democracy Work Celebration
It won’t be the same if you and your League aren’t there!
Lobby Days activities have always been among my favorites. At the state board meeting last month it was fun to see the board’s growing excitement about the activities we have
planned for February 25-26. Among the most enthusias-tic are a couple of board members who have not attended Lobby Days previously!
The agenda for Monday afternoon, February 25, includes terrific Lobby Days speakers and statewide conference con-sideration of changes in two LWV-TX positions. Everyone is welcome to attend the Monday afternoon session.
However, to conduct business at the Statewide Conference, at least 15 local Leagues and MAL (Member-at-Large) Units must be represented. Please pay particular attention to details below on local League and MAL representation at the Statewide Conference. Each local League and MAL Unit must let the state office know the names of those designated to represent you at Statewide Conference.
We are all looking forward to seeing as many as possible in Austin, February 25-26! Please encourage your members to attend as well, together we can help Make Democracy Work for Texas!

LWV-TX Leg Priorities
The LWV-TX board, after significant input from our mem-bers, has selected three priorities on which to concentrate our lobbying efforts this session. The three priorities are:
•Education •Health Care •Water

More Than 100Organizations UrgeSenate to Ratify Treaty on the Rights of Women
Record Number of Senate Women Fuels Mo-mentum for Ratification of UN Treaty Declaring Women’s Rights Are Human Rights
With a historic number of women elected to the U.S. Sen-ate, more than 100 organizations co-signed a letter in early January to senators and urged them to make ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Dis-crimination Against Women (CEDAW), a priority in the 113th Congress. CEDAW, a landmark international agree-ment that affirms principles of fundamental human rights and equality for women around the world, has the strong support of President Obama. The letter, spearheaded by The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and GlobalSolutions.org, was hand-delivered to all senate offices on the first day of the new session of Congress.
As of January 4, 187 out of 194 countries have ratified CEDAW. The United States is one of only seven countries—including Iran, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Palau and Tonga—that have not ratified CEDAW. While in previous sessions of Congress, the Senate Foreign Relations Commit-tee has held hearings on the treaty and has favorably report-ed it out of committee with bipartisan support, CEDAW has never been brought to the Senate floor for a vote.
The full text of the letter follows along with the names of the partner organizations.
January 3, 2013
To the Honorable Members of the United States Senate:
On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we write to urge you to make ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) a priority for the United States Sen-ate in the 113th session of Congress.
The record breaking number of women who will serve in the 113th Congress lends significant momentum for the United States to increase its global leadership role on women’s rights issues. Twenty female Senators will either return to or take office in the Senate—a truly historic accomplishment.
CEDAW is a landmark international agreement that affirms principles of fundamental human rights and equality for women around the world. It is a practi-cal blueprint for each country to achieve progress for women and girls.
CEDAW is already making a difference for women and girls worldwide, specifically by strengthening civil society’s efforts to persuade governments to respect women’s human rights and adopt policies to reduce sex trafficking and domestic violence, provide access to education and vocational training, ensure the right to vote, end forced and child marriages, secure inheritance rights, and ensure the right to work and own a business without discrimination.
Ratification of CEDAW would strengthen the United States’ standing as a global leader in standing up for women and girls. To date, the United States is one of only seven countries that have not yet ratified CEDAW. It is essential that the U.S. ratify CEDAW and continue to play a leadership role in advancing women’s and girls’ rights globally.
The signatories of this letter call on the U.S. Senate to advance women’s human rights, not just for women in the United States but for all women worldwide, by ratifying this convention now.
Sincerely,
