At the first League meeting they voted for principle, legislation, and issues to focus on, which included child welfare, education, women in occupations and many more.
As well during this time, the league had many committees that covered specific issues, like health, housing, jury selection, public schools, state government, and homes for children, that were voted on to make these responsibilities.
