More about the Citizens League.... The Elk River Area Citizens League was founded in 1987 by The 2001 Committee, Inc. The mission of the Citizens League is to foster a more informed public, resulting in better choices and decision making for area residents. The Citizens League is a non-partisan, non-sectarian and not-for-profit organization. Membership in the League is open to all area citizens who support its mission. As a research and discussion entity, the Citizens League brings together a group of individuals from a variety of backgrounds and interests. These diverse perspectives represent our strength. Within the arena of League activities, however, political and/or professional allegiances are set aside, and the commonality of our grassroots citizenship guides our efforts. Each year the Citizens League selects a study topic. Members who are interested in the topic participate in research and discussion of the issue. When the study is completed, the League publishes a report which is available to the public. The Citizens League also sponsors Candidate Forums in order to help citizens learn about political candidates and their positions on various issues. These meetings are held during election years and are open to all area citizens. Through these activities, the Elk River Area Citizens League fulfills its mission to foster a more informed public, which is the very foundation of a healthy democracy.
