Help Us Get the Word Out — We Need a Public Relations Chair!

Do you love the League but wish more people knew about us? This is your chance to make that happen.

We are looking for a member to step into the role of Public Relations Chair — a board position that puts you at the heart of how LWV Denver connects with our community. With the 2026 midterm elections on the horizon, this role has never been more important.

As PR Chair, you'll help spread the word about our voter resources, candidate forums, and civic education programs — making sure Denver voters know we're here and ready to help them participate with confidence.

No formal PR background required — just enthusiasm for the League's mission and a willingness to reach out to media, community partners, and the public on our behalf.

If you're interested — or know a fellow member who might be — please contact Pearlanne Zelarney at pzelarney@yahoo.com.

Together, we can make sure no voter in Denver goes without the information they need.
