2024 Mary Louise Smith Chair, Deborah Turner serves as the 20th president of the League of Women Voters of the United States and chair of the Board of Trustees of the League of Women Voters Education Fund.

This event is canceled. Dr. Turner died on Sunday, Jan. 28. The ISU Lectures Series sends its condolences to Dr. Turner's family and friends. The League of Women Voters issued a statement about her passing.

Turner was elected board president at the 55th National Convention of the League of Women Voters in June 2022. She joined the Des Moines Metropolitan League in 2010 and became president in 2011 when the League was at risk of disbanding. She served in that role until 2015, helping revitalize membership and refocus the board leadership. At the same time, she also served on the LWV Iowa board as the state vice president from 2011 to 2015, becoming co-president in 2015. In her dual roles with state and local Leagues, Deborah provided leadership to strengthen relationships between local leagues and the state board.
