Welcome to our website. We are a growing League that can look back on more than half a century of important contributions to the political decisions in our county.  We look ahead to addressing many pressing issues that face our county, our state and our nation now and in the future.  Much of our work is done in small groups, units, that meet in your general neighborhood.  We are reaching out to different geographical areas and demographic groups to more fully represent the county's residents.  We have both men and women as members.  If you would like to attend a general meeting or a unit meeting in your area, see our calendar.  If there is not a unit convenient to you, please contact us to consider forming one.

Recently we convened a forum on immigration that brought varied views on the problems and opportunities of immigration, a national League study subject. We were pleased that our guests included local officials, Maryland delegates, and a member of Congress and gave many citizens an opportunity to express their views on the issue.  After months of study, we members met in small discussion groups to reach consensus on facets of various immigration issues that are subject to legislation.   When consensuses are put together from the Leagues across the nation, we will have the positions from which we can lobby Congress for legislation.
