The League of Women Voters of Calvert County is an organization with members of all genders that promotes political responsibility and active participation in the affairs of government. We observe, monitor, study, discuss, educate, lobby and testify on issues of local, state and national import. We invite you to join LWV. You will find it a satisfying experience to be part of such a unique volunteer, nonpartisan, grassroots and multi-issue organization whose goals and objectives are to EMPOWER VOTERS. DEFEND DEMOCRACY.
Effective February 1, 2025, all membership dues will be paid through a new LWVUS membership portal. You will receive instructions from LWVUS on how to log in, but a unique email address is required to do so. You will have the ability to update your contact information in addition to paying dues, and it will still be possible to pay dues on behalf of another. These administrative changes will not affect your LWV membership in any way, and the LWVCC Board will continue to keep you apprised of anything else you need to know.
Fewer membership types:
There will no longer be a distinction between primary, household, and student members. Only Life members (members for 50+ years) will not have to pay dues.
Pay-What-You-Can-Dues:
Memberships will expire on the anniversary of your last dues payment, as they do today. There will be a nationwide standard pay-what-you-can dues structure for annual dues with $20 as a minimum and $75 as the recommended annual payment with the opportunity to donate more, if you wish. The dues will be split among National (LWVUS - 33%), State (LWVMD - 47%) and Local (LWVCC - 20%). If you choose to pay by credit card, there will be three lines on your credit card statement with the allocation detailed. If you wish to add an additional amount to your dues payment, please note that it will be allocated among LWVUS, LWVMD, and LWVCC; therefore, if you want your donation to go directly to LWVCC only, we recommend you donate directly by clicking here. The opportunity to make a tax-deductible donation to the LWVCC Education Fund is also available here
- Purchase or renew your membership here. You may choose to select auto-renew, and your dues will be charged to the credit card of your choice. You may also elect to pay your dues via echeck by providing your bank information (also known as ACH).
- Paying by check will still be an option to pay dues--please make the check payable to LWVUS and send it to: LWVCC Treasurer at PO Box 1510, Prince Frederick, MD 20678
