We are pleased to announce that we will be offering a half – day workshop for young members called “Connecting the Power of GWI Young Members” on July 26, 2019.
33rd General Assembly Preliminary Agenda
This preliminary Conference agenda is being sent to National Federations and Associations (NFAs) six months before the date of the General Assembly and Conference.
GWI Toolkit
The GWI Education Committee and VP: Advocacy and Education would like to draw members attention to a new toolkit which has been uploaded onto the GWI website. They plan to use this toolkit at the GA/Conference in July 2019 but in the meantime invite you to look at it, provide us with any comments and further suggestions. Perhaps even other sample lesson plans.
Widow’s Plight
Our CIR, Jenny Morley, recently learned via the CIR of New Zealand, Shirley Gillett, about the treatment of widows in India. The latter had been alerted to the situation by Gomathy Venkateswar who, in July 2012, attended a session of the United Nations in New York as a delegate of Virginia Gildersleeve.
Call for GWI Centenary Project NFA Outstanding Women
We also know that each NFA has now, or has had in its history, outstanding women who have embodied the mission and vision of IFUW / GWI. We are asking each NFA to tell us about these women by sending us a short profile of no more than 2 outstanding women that we will share in digital format with the GWI family during the 2019 celebratory year. Deadline for final submission: 15 January 2019
British Federation hosts first English Speaking European Meeting
On 22nd September fifty Members of UWE (University Women of Europe) and accompanying husbands met at Chancellors Hotel, Manchester University to celebrate 💯 years of (some) women voting in the UK (& 90 years of all women getting the vote).
Early Bird Registration for the 33rd Triennial and Centenary Conference
Our intention in providing event and registration information early is to hopefully present you with the opportunity to take advantage of a discounted registration fee, low hotels rates, reasonable airline ticket prices and to generally plan your trip in the most cost-effective way possible. The current “Early Bird” registration fee will be available for a couple of months only, after which there is a substantial increase in the fee.
Call for GWI Delegates
Deadline Thursday, 15 November 2018. The 63rd Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) will take place at the United Nations Headquarters in New York from 11 to 22 March 2019.
