During its recent convention , the League of Women Voters-US singled out the Southern Monmouth County league as a national leader in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
The award comes in recognition of the initiative to register formerly incarcerated citizens on a regular basis at the ReEntry program in Neptune City. Local League member, Annette Scott went on to establish voter registration and encourage voter responsibility in the Re-entry programs throughout the state. Reenter –Register – Vote is the message of the program which seeks to build equitable partnerships with programs such as ReEntry
