Erika Kunkel was long involved with the League of Women Voters. Erika and Gail Schickele were co-chairs of the LWVBAE Environmental Concerns Speaker Series founded by Gail’s mother-in-law Beth Schickele and still running after 40 years.

Through the League, Erika and her husband Wulf Kunkel became friends with Beth Schickele, a physicist, and her husband Rainer. Gail Schickele became co-chair of the speaker series with Erika after Beth died. Wulf Kunkel also was present and gave a terrific talk on fuel cell technology.
