  • Annual Report
    A SOI(e) (3) Not for Profit Corporation ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2018 Established in 1987 by BPW/Maine BPW/Maine Futurama Foundation President's Report 2017-2018 The BPW/Maine Futurama Foundation maintained an active scholarship program and solicited contributions to fund our scholarship program. The Foundation has helped Maine women achieve economic self-sufficiency by awarding scholarships to outstanding and deserving women since 1987 and we have continued the tradition by giving $7200 in scholarships this year. We would like to thank our Sponsors' the University of Maine at Augusta, Kennebec Savings Bank and Webber Group who have helped us make this possible. Recipients of these scholarships will go on to take their place in the ranks of working women who contribute to the economic well-- being of their families and the State of Maine. We continue to work with the Maine Community Foundation and appreciate the advice and expertise that we can tap into. Maine Community Foundation is a statewide nonprofit that helps people invest charitable resources in the future of Maine. We believe this partnership will help to ensure that the Foundation can continue its' scholarship program well into the future. The Maine Women's Hall of Fame holds an annual Induction Ceremony on the third Saturday of March. One or two Maine women of achievement have been honored each year since 1990. Each year the ceremony has been held at the University of Maine at Augusta in observance of Women's History Month. The photographs and citations are on permanent display at UMA's Bennett D.

Highlighted within are the achievements of our students and the many public events organized by our faculty and academic programs. This has been an important year at USM. The university continues to grow despite decreasing numbers of high school graduates in our aging Dean Adam Tuchinsky state. We are particularly grateful to the voters in our state that approved a bond package that will make possible a significant investment in our Volume 12, Fall 2018 Fall 12, Volume aging facilities, particularly on the Portland campus. The confidence that the voters in our state demonstrated in the importance of public higher education sends important signals to the philanthropic sector. Of central importance to our college is the proposed Center for the Arts, which has already received a substantial gift to begin the planning process. The Center will be funded entirely by private philanthropy, but with bond funding for a new campus center and public-private partnerships to fund residence halls on the Portland campus, we are confident that USM will be able to recruit students from throughout our neighboring regions.

  • Maine League of Women Voters Concurrence Study Instant Runoff Voting
    Maine League of Women Voters Concurrence Study Instant Runoff Voting The Maine League of Women Voters is asking its members whether or not they concur with a study done by the Minnesota League of Women Voters on Alternative Voting Systems, endorsing the use of Instant Runoff Voting (also known as Ranked Choice Voting) as an acceptable alternative voting method. LWVME began looking at the issue of IRV four years ago and reviewed studies done by state Leagues in Minnesota, Washington, and California. Diane Russell, state legislator from Portland, gave a talk about IRV at our state convention in 2009 and Terry Bouricius, of FairVote, was a guest speaker at the Quad States workshop in May, 2010. As we move into the final phase of concurrence, LWVME will hold meetings in Portland, Brunswick, and Ellsworth to first inform members and to then ask for a vote. In addition to the information contained in this Concurrence Study, information on IRV is available on our web site at www.lwvme.org. INTRODUCTION The League of Women Voters believes that democratic government depends upon the informed and active participation of its citizens. The League believes in representative government and in the individual liberties established in the Constitution of the United States. The League works to promote an open governmental system that is representative, accountable and responsive. The League of Women Voters believes that every citizen should be protected in the right to vote. The League has a history of working to improve our voting systems and believes that increased accessibility is essential to ensuring a representative electoral process and every citizen’s right to vote.

LB: Lyn Mikel Brown, February 12, 1956, Calais, Maine, a small town in Downeast Maine, on the Canadian border. GZ: Tell me about how you relate to feminism? LB: I relate to feminism very personally. For me it has been a way of seeing the world, a way of interacting with people, a way of understanding politics. So it is very personal and it is obviously very political. It is a way to be in connection with people who want to address social injustice and to work toward social change. GZ: Was your family very political as well? What are their points of view on feminism when you were growing up? LB: I grew up working class, working poor, and my family moved gradually into the lower-middle class.

Kilbreth, Esq. to the Ethics Commission re Portland Mayoral Complaint. The Unite Portland PAC was created for one purpose — to raise and spend nearly $50,000 to expressly advocate for the defeat of Ethan Strimling in the 2019 Portland mayoral election.' UP was created to make independent expenditures and that is all. For UP to now claim that until late October, their principal officers did not understand they had to file independent expenditure reports does not pass the straight face test. More money is spent on the Portland municipal election than on any other municipal election in Maine and nearly all races for the State House. It is crucial that the Ethics Commission levy a serious penalty in this case to set an example for future campaigns in our biggest city that it is not okay to run an express advocacy campaign directly against a candidate and fail to disclose what they are spending money on and who they are paying to do it.
