- Deirdre_Macnab abstract "Deirdre Macnab is the past president of the League of Women Voters of Florida (LWVF)Macnab was nominated for the 2014 National Slate of the League of Women Voters of the United States. She has been recognized by La Prensa newspaper as a “Community Champion” for their annual Mujeres Destacadas Awards, by the Florida Commission on the Status of Women as a recipient of their 2012 Florida Achievement Award, and by the Orlando Sentinel as the 2012 Most Influential Central Floridian of the Year.Under Macnab's leadership, the League of Women Voters of Florida grew by 26% and increased its two budgets by 100% (Advocacy Budget) to 300% (Education Budget) over a five year period, 2010 to 2015. The signature accomplishment under her tenure as LWVF president was the final passage, after 60 years of work by the Florida League, of two state constitutional amendments to end gerrymandering, accomplished in 2010.Macnab graduated with an M.B.A. from Columbia University in marketing and finance and a B.A. from New York University in history and political science. She has worked for Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, Manville Corporation and Bankers Trust, and was president of her own direct marketing consulting firm in Nashville, Tennessee. In addition, Macnab worked in the prisons of New York City for the Board of Correction, and was elected to the Board of Education in Nashville, TN (70,000 students). Macnab was also appointed by Mayor Shirley Franklin of Atlanta to serve as her designate on the Fulton County, Georgia Library Board.After moving to the greater Orlando, Florida area, Macnab joined the board of MyRegion.org, a seven-county visioning coalition in Central Florida and WMFE's Citizens Advisory Board, in addition to joining the League of Women Voters of Florida. Macnab sits on the Federal Judicial Nominating Commission for the state of Florida, a position appointed by Senator Bill Nelson (D) and Senator Marco Rubio (R), charged with the responsibility of selecting candidates for federal judge for submission to the President of the United States. She was profiled by the Orlando Business Journal in 2009, appeared on The Daily Show, PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton, and The Chris Matthews Show.Macnab is married to Craig Macnab, and has two sons, Ian and Graham.Other accomplishments for the LWVF under her tenure as LWVF State President include: Successful lawsuit announced in April 2014 protecting Florida voters from being purged from voter rolls 90 days within a Federal election. Reduced gerrymandering by leading the charge for the Fair Districts amendments, which finally set clear rules for drawing political districts, voted into the Florida Constitution by 63% of voters. Eliminated roadblocks to voting by successfully demanding the Florida Legislature reinstitute early voting days, and the Sunday before election day, following the long delays, including eight-hour lines in Miami, that voters faced during the 2012 Presidential election. Struck down unconstitutional restrictions on voter registration via a precedent setting victory in U.S. Federal Court. Helped place Florida Water and Land Conservation Initiative, Amendment 1, on the November 2014 ballot. League members collected over 25,000 signed petitions throughout the state of Florida. Led the citizen's support for the passage of SUNRAIL, Central Florida's new commuter rail network stretching across the region. Initiated recycling in St. Petersburg, as well as permission for citizens to speak in Orange County Board of County Commissioners meetings. Successfully persuaded Florida voters to defeat nine out of eleven amendments on the 2012 ballot, many of which would have severely eroded the rights of citizens and/or de-funded local governments, with the JUST SAY NO campaign. Worked with statewide environmental groups to successfully pressure the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to halt the sale of state owned conservation lands.↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑".
