Celebrating Meg Titus's 100th Birthday
Happy 100th birthday Meg Titus, one of the founders of LWV Collin County! On Tuesday, June 4th, League members attended her party, where she served champagne and Sachertorte.
Meg joined the League of Women Voters 69 years ago in Waterloo, Iowa. As a passionate advocate for environmental issues, she lobbied the state legislature to stop the pollution of the Cedar River. After moving to Texas in 1971, she joined the LWV Dallas Board of Directors. During her time with the Dallas League, she served as the Environmental Chair and the LWV Texas Air and Water Advocacy Chair.
After moving to Plano, she put an ad in the Plano Star Courier about starting a local League and more than 50 people responded. LWV Plano was officially formed in 1976 and the name was changed to LWV Collin County in 2013. Meg was President of LWV-CC from 1980-1984 and she remains active in the League to this day. She said, "I have really enjoyed my many years in the League at all levels and want to thank the group and our League for the opportunity to be active in such important political and environmental activities for so many years."
The LWVCC Board of Directors congratulates Meg on her 100th and thanks her for her tireless volunteerism across North Texas. Her contributions to civic engagement and advocacy for the public good are truly remarkable and we are lucky to have her as a member.
