When: Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Time: 7:30pm
Where: Emma Lou Olson Civic Center
1801 NE 6th Street
Pompano Beach
What: Monthly program meeting
Speaker: Dr. Alice Levy
League of Women Voters
Topic: November 6 Ballot Amendments
Refreshments will be served.
From “The Informed Voter Education Series” by the League of Women Voters: “There are 11 amendments on the November 6, 2012 ballot that, if passed, would amend the Florida Constitution. All were placed on the ballot by the Florida Legislature during the 2011-2012 sessions. Each ballot amendment requires 60% of the popular vote for passage.”
Because of the sheer number of amendments and the length of their descriptions, voters need to be fully prepared before going to the polls. The League of Women Voters has studied each amendment and has published a guide to voting on the amendments, as well as providing speakers to present the League’s findings to groups of voters wishing to inform themselves about the issues. The North Broward Democratic Club is presenting the forum to the community to help inform voters. Our speaker is Dr. Alice Levy, former president of the Broward County League of Women Voters. Her biography appears below.
Alice White Levy, as the child of a military family traveled extensively and was educated both in the United Statesand abroad. Upon completing her studies at the Medical College of Virginia, Dr. Levy worked in academic medicine and research. She has been on staff at numerous institutions including Brown University, Northwest and Michigan Cancer Foundation. Currently, she owns and directs two medically related businesses in Florida.
Dr. Levy has always maintained a deep commitment to the social needs of the communities she has called home. She volunteers with several 501(c)(3) organizations, as well as serving on municipal boards. A long time board member and past president of the League of Women Voters of Broward County, Dr. Levy remains actively involved in voter education and voter rights.
The meeting is free and open to the public.
