Apply to the Strategic Planning Committee

In early 2018, YWCA USA will begin a network-wide strategic planning process, facilitated by The Alford Group, in collaboration with YWCA USA, YWCA USA board of directors, and YWCA leaders. A Strategic Planning Committee of up to twenty individuals will be formed to provide leadership to the entire process. Local YWCA leaders will be part of the composition of that committee and interested leaders are encouraged to apply. Read more and apply here.
