CHIEF EXECUTIVE
REPORT
LIZ FORSYTH
As a leader on issues of Women’s Leadership, YWCA Adelaide has been
part of the momentum that has been gained nationally amongst other
YWCA membership associations to adopt and further develop the women’s
leadership pathway. Our local She Speaks Survey has for the first time
become a national YWCA survey undertaken in every State and Territory
and with other research will increasingly articulate what women’s leadership
means and can contribute to the economy and the community.
Building Membership Engagement
Important to me in joining YWCA Adelaide has been attention to the fact
we are a membership organisation. Membership is an expression of support
for the work we do, providing both a resource and a reason for our
advocacy work. Membership should and does drive our agenda, and
engagement with our members enables us to understand what is important
to the women who join our organisation, as well as what they want from
their membership.
