LEAGUE HONORS ALEXANDRIA RESIDENT ELAINE ROBERTSON

2025 RITA KIPP COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AWARD WINNER

The League of Women Voters of Licking County honored Elaine Robertson with the 2025 Rita Kipp Community Engagement Award. Robertson is a founding member of Clean Air and Water for Alexandria and St. Albans Township. In her nomination submission, Allison Riggs described Elaine as someone who “galvanized an army of residents through information meetings and media platforms to intelligently engage us in local affairs concerning unmonitored development detrimental to the quality of life and health of our community… Elaine has been a faithful and diligent leader to direct our attention to local EPA meetings and opportunities to be involved in monitoring our local waterways and air from possible pollutants. She has been a force to be reckoned with…” Elaine also serves on the Alexandria and St. Albans Township Merger Commission to help voters make a well-informed decision about the potential advantages and disadvantages of a merger of Alexandria and St. Albans Township.

Observers attend public meetings, track important issues, and make short reports for the Observers Collaborative website, all in the service of promoting civic understanding and transparency in government.

ADVOCATING FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION

PUBLIC EDUCATION ESSENTIAL FOR A STRONG, VIABLE SUSTAINABLE DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY

The League of Women Voters of Ohio’s Advocacy-Education Committee hosted two recent discussions on the privatization of public education and its impact in Ohio. The League has a long history supporting public education. The LWVUS statement on the role of the Federal Government in Education reads: “The League of Women Voters believes that the federal government shares with other levels of government the responsibility to provide an equitable, quality public education for all children from pre-K through grade 12. A quality public education is essential for a strong, viable, and sustainable democratic society and is a civil right.
