The event will feature four panelists, all of whom worked on the original charter
VANCOUVER – A panel discussion, “What Can Your Charter Do for You?” is scheduled Sept. 8 to educate voters who will elect the 15 members of the Clark County Charter Review Commission in November.
The event, sponsored by the nonpartisan League of Women Voters of Clark County, will feature four panelists, all of whom worked on the original charter.
In 2014, voters approved adopting the home rule charter form of government, defining the separation of the executive and legislative powers in the Clark County government. Voters were given the power to propose ballot measures.
The nonpartisan commission was established in 2020 to review the home rule charter and propose amendments to voters. Comprising three members from each of the five County Council districts, the commission is elected every five years.
The panel discussion will take place at 6 p.m. at the Vancouver Community Library, 901 C St. Panelists will answer questions about the charter, its history and its impact on residents. Audience members also will be able to ask questions.
Panelists are Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey, former Clark County Treasurer Doug Lasher, former Camas Mayor Nan Hendrickson and former City Councilor Pat Jollota.
The nonprofit League of Women Voters was founded by leaders of the women’s suffrage movement in 1920; for 105 years, the League has worked to empower voters and defend democracy.
