Donna Bening

Donna joined LWV in 1967 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she served on the Board of Directors. She moved to Collin County in 1990 and held many leadership roles in LWV-CC, including VP Program and VP Voters Services. Donna was the president from 1995-1998 and co-president from 2005-2007. The reason that she joined LWV and has been a member for so long is that she believes in issue education, voter services, and public policy advocacy. “Generations must be grateful to those powerless but brave who persisted in persuading the powerful to be more inclusive with voting rights. We must continue to be alert to recognize what is a benefit or a burden in public policy and speak up for justice and safety. Votes are our voice in a representative democracy.”

Mary Borm

Mary joined the San Marcos Area LWV over 50 years ago and served as president and treasurer. She traveled around the state to train other Local League board members. She believes that the League is a valuable organization that educates voters with unbiased information about elections and candidates. While she is relatively new to LWV-CC, Mary has long been an enthusiastic supporter of LWV and its mission.

After moving to Plano, she held various roles on the board, including secretary, Publicity Chair, and annual meeting planner. She participated in many voter registration events.

Janet Imhoff

Janet joined LWV in 1972 in Sherman, TX. LWV Sherman was a newly formed League and Janet found the meetings and discussions stimulating, interesting, and fun. She served on the board there as President from 1977-1979.

Janet said, "The League has always been a big part of my life, and I call it one of my main hobbies. I feel it is a way to be involved in politics without being partisan. I think the nonpartisanship of the League is one of its greatest missions and attributes."

When she moved to Texas in 1971, Meg joined the LWV-Dallas Board of Directors. She served as the Environmental Chair and the LWVTX Air and Water Chair. After moving to Plano, she put an ad in the Plano Star Courier about starting a local league, and ~50 people responded.

Meg was president from 1980-1984, and she remains active in LWV today. “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.”
