MEMBERSHIP In April 2014 a face to face Members consultation session was held to hear directly from Members about why they choose to be Members and how our membership experience can be improved and enhanced. At the consultation, we also used the opportunity to listen to Members’ thoughts and ideas on issues regarding women’s leadership to inform our next Policy Platform. “I love and appreciate the ‘sisterhood’ of the ‘Y’. Younger members care about older members, and respect and take pleasure from their experience, with all the stories they are asked to share. These stories, and the women who tell them, help to keep alive the life and history of our important organisation.” Why Janet is a Member, and a Life Member “My one reason for being a member is the local, national and worldwide shared sisterhood of the Y recognising the power of women.” Why Sandra is a Member
