The title of this document, Policies, Guidelines, Procedures, indicates that it provides a reference for LWVMD Board members about how the organization operates. The handbook discusses hands-on “how we do it” aspects of the LWVMD. It also outlines the ethical and philosophical underpinnings that determine the way the League functions. LLs, MAL’s and MAL Units often use materials in this handbook to pattern their own developing policies, and they are welcome to do so.
