She serves on the board of her local League, LWV Deerfield/Lincolnshire, and is active in other levels of League, including the Lake County League and the Illinois League’s state committees. She has also served in off-board roles for the LWV Lake Michigan Region ILO and the LWV Upper Mississippi River Region ILO. She has been a mod

In 2017, she co-founded a League committee whose goal is to educate the public about why we should abolish the electoral college by Constitutional amendment. This LWVDL Electoral College Committee has continued to give presentations since 2017 and includes members from local Leagues around Illinois as well as from numerous other states. Since June, 2022, when LWVUS identified the abolition of the electoral college by Constitutional amendment as a “next big goal,” this committee has been working with LWVUS as a resource for that national campaign.
