LWVADC Fall Kickoff Members Meeting - 6 PM
About this event
League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties members and their guests are invited to our Fall Kickoff presentation in-person and online.
September begins our active League of Women Voters’ year and it is a good time to join together and socialize a bit, then hear a speaker on one of our League concerns.
Our Fall Kickoff meeting will start at 6 pm with light refreshments. It will be at the Koelbel Library in Centennial. Please attend in-person if you can.
At 7 pm we'll hear from guest speaker Matt Frommer on the important topic of housing. It will be available online. There will be time for questions and answers before the event ends.
Matt is the Transportation and Land Use Policy Manager at the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP), leading their new Housing Forward Colorado campaign.
Housing Forward Colorado is a pro-housing and smart growth advocacy campaign working to ensure that Colorado builds homes that people can afford in the places they want to live –– in walkable, connected communities near jobs, transit, and local businesses.
Colorado’s housing shortage forces seniors and families out of their communities and increases traffic and commute times. Sprawling development in the suburbs also worsens climate change in multiple ways: by raising carbon emissions, increasing energy use, and taking over natural lands.
