YWCA Adelaide Annual Report 2014-2015 | Page 18

STRATEGIC GOAL FOUR: By 2019 the YWCA has developed enduring partnerships and connectivity that enhances its capacity to influence and create positive outcomes on issues and services impacting women. Our Members are our most important partner and we continue to provide them with significant membership benefits to reward their loyalty and contribution to the YWCA movement, and to support their leadership development. Benefits include but are not limited to: Member price for SHE Leads 18 Conference and Board Training, SHE Leads Program Scholarship, Commission on the Status of Women Scholarship, Board Traineeship, voting for Board Directors and contributing to policy development. This year we introduced the Great Ydeas Small Grants Program for Members and congratulate inaugural winner Fiona Meade. The announcement was made at our key annual membership event, World YWCA Day Round the World Breakfast. We are enabled to do so much more because of the sponsors who invest in women’s leadership and believe in our work.
