Merger Update: Conversion to 501c3 Status

At our Annual Meeting on June 14, we will consider a merger plan that allows us to convert LWVHC to a 501c3 charitable organization under IRS rules. Many other Leagues have already taken this step.

For LWVHC, a merger committee has been at work since last year to ensure that the merger of LWVHC and our Education Fund is done legally and with proper approvals.
  • In May, 2021, the Board of the Education Fund (HCLWVEF) approved merging the Education Fund and the League of Women Voters of Henderson County. 
  • In June, 2021 the LWVHC Board approved moving toward merger, and a Merger Committee was appointed (Renee Kumor, Nan Jennings, Ruth Baldwin, Judith Katz, Brenda Sherrer, and Kelly Johnson.) This action was reported at our 2021 Annual Meeting and reflected in the minutes.
  • Attorney Anderson Ellis of Van Winkle Law Firm has guided the committee throughout the year to prepare merger documents for approval by membership at the Annual Meeting 2022, and for filing with the NC Secretary of State, and Henderson County.
  • In May 2022, the LWVHC Board voted to approve the Merger Document.
