Margaret McGrath Leadership Education Program 

 

The League of Women Voters of Broward mourns the passing of an active member, Margaret McGrath, who passed away in Ushyaia, Argentina on Jan. 27, 2023.

 

Margaret's passion was politics, government and advocacy, and she was a long-time member of the LWV, having first been active in Pittsburgh. She served on the Board of Directors of the Education Fund of LWV-Broward and as Chair of the Legislative Advocacy Committee.

 

The purpose of the Margaret McGrath Leadership Education Program is to prepare LWVBC members for "a year of service," where they would agree to take a leadership role in the future to sustain, grow and diversify LWV Broward. Donations will benefit this program and are tax-deductible.
