We are pleased to share the following YWCA USA updates.
CEO Search Update
The search for the permanent CEO continues according to plan, led by Shelia Carnicelli and Loyce Pierce Wright, and supported by Korn Ferry. We have continued to receive interest in the YWCA USA CEO position. As we reported when we were recently together at the YWCA USA National Conference in Washington, D.C., in person interviews will commence shortly, and continue as necessary until we find the right candidate to be our new leader. Please send general questions to board@ywca.org and direct candidates to this listing.
July Recess Plan
The Senate has delayed their vote on healthcare and Congress has just recessed for the July 4 holiday. Check out the YWCA July Recess Plan for opportunities to connect with your members of Congress while they're home and urge them to protect the Affordable Care Act!
Healthcare Statement
Earlier this week, we released a statement regarding the Senate healthcare bill. Take a look.
National Conference Videos and Media
If you weren't able to join us at the YWCA USA National Conference, or you just want to relive the highlights, check out this great coverage of the Women of Distinction Awards Gala from WHUT DC and visit the Intranet to view videos of plenaries, keynotes, and gala speeches! You can also read recap blogs from our social media ambassadors and see the World Service Council's review of the week.

FY18 support fee information was emailed today to YWCA leaders. If you did not receive the information, you can find everything you need on the Support Fees webpage.
