Today, our guest speaker was Maury Goodman, President of our local League of Women Voters
What is the League? The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government, works to increase understanding of major political policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. The LWV is non-partisan and neither supports nor opposes candidates for elected office but does act on issues after member study and consensus. Nationally, the League has fought since 1920 to improve our government and engage all Americans in the decisions that impact their lives. It operates at national, state and local levels through more than 800 state and local Leagues. Their Website (https://my.lwv.org/illinois/wheaton) contains useful information on how to register to vote, how to vote, recordings of voter forums, etc. Maury was recently elected as the first male President of the Wheaton League. Goodman is an Emeritus Scientist at Argonne National Lab and a retired U.S. Army Captain. He earned a Ph.D. in physics at the University of Illinois and a B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His extensive public service resume includes five terms as an Alderman in the City of Warrenville
