Finding Voice Series

LWV Steuben and Chemung sponsors issues forums to spotlight issues that might not otherwise come to the attention of local citizens. The goal of the series is to offer people a way to have a say in a safe and courteous environment. Each program includes a feature presentation and an open mic session. During the open mic session attendees are encouraged to speak up and say what is on their minds about any issue. For more information about the series or to join the planning committee, email Dianne Roe.
