SUBJECT: CEO Advisory Council - August 31 Deadline
Dear YWCA Leaders,
I am pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for five new local association CEOs/EDs to serve on the CEO Advisory Council.
For the past 3 years, the CEO Advisory Council has done a remarkable job of working collaboratively and effectively to enhance the relationship, trust, and alignment between local and national operations, initiatives, and programming. The Council has also proven to be an invaluable resource to me during my tenure as CEO of YWCA USA and has served a vitally important role in helping YWCA move forward to further define and take action toward the achievement of our collective goals, impact and overall vision for our iconic organization.
Please accept this memo as my personal invitation for you to join our efforts. Self-nominations may be made and applications may be submitted by completing this electronic application form no later than Wednesday, August 31, 2016, 5 p.m. EDT.
Additional important details about the CEO Advisory Council, including purpose, required background, member profile and responsibilities may be found in the YWCA CEO Advisory Council Fact Sheet.
If you have questions concerning the application process or other general questions about the CEO Advisory Council, you may contact me directly or you may also reach out to Casey Harden, Senior Vice President, Strategic Initiatives and Membership, at charden@ywca.org.
Thank you for your consideration! I very much look forward to working with you!
Sincerely,

Dara Richardson-Heron, M.D.
YWCA USA CEO
