Historical
note
|
|
The Associated Country Women
of the World (ACWW) was organized in June 1933 in Stockholm,
Sweden. The object of the group, according to their constitution,
is "to promote and maintain friendly and helpful relations between
the country women's and homemakers' associations of all nations, and
to give any possible help in their development; to further the
common interests of these organizations, in the economic, social,
and cultural spheres, while avoiding political and sectarian
questions of a controversial nature; and to encourage the formation
of organizations working for such common interests in countries
where this need has not already been met."
Application for membership
is open to all associations of country women organized on a
National, Provincial or State basis whose aims and objects are in
harmony with those of the Association. Application may also be made
by Women's Sections of men's organizations, and associations of
which the majority of the members are country women. Groups of
women interested in the betterment of rural life, in sympathy with
the movement and not otherwise eligible for membership, may apply
for enrollment as Corresponding Societies.
The group meets
triennially, at a time and place to be decided by the Executive
Committee. The President and Vice-Presidents are elected by the
Conference. The Conference also elects six members to serve on the
Executive Committee. Each Constituent organization is entitled to
appoint one representative to serve on the Executive Committee. The
Executive Committee conducts the business of the association between
Conferences. |
