Legislative Event
for Texas UMW

Texas United Methodist Women's Legislative Event (LE)  brings together UMW from across the state to learn about state policy and how our government works. The LE focuses on issues that are of concern to all of us and inspires us to be advocates. LE features speakers from state government, Texas churches, seminaries, and non-profit organizations.
The highlight of the LE is a trip to the Capitol to visit your State Senator and Representative.
