The League of Women Voters of Northfield and Cannon Falls (LWVNCF) supports transparency and public participation in government through our observer program. As of 2026, LWVNCF has observers following these bodies:
- Faribault Public Schools Board
- Northfield City Council
- Northfield Public Schools Board
- Northfield Hospitals + Clinics
- Rice County Board of Commissioners
Observer reports are not minutes but a tool to help residents see how local elected officials and boards of public entities are representing them — what kinds of questions they ask, their opinions on issues, etc. Readers can search by name through these reports to read the types of questions each board member asks. For agendas, meeting packets, and minutes, each governing body maintains its own website. The observer reports are intended to augment those publicly available documents.
To volunteer as an observer, contact lwvncf@lwvnorthfieldmn.org.
