Resolutions
The May meeting is our Resolution Meeting. Every year a number of subjects that members nationally have felt needed addressing are forward to all WI members.
“The WI has a long history of campaigning on a wide range of issues that matter to women and their communities. Over the past 100 years, WI members have campaigned to empower and support women within society, exerting their individual and collective influence; brought a series of controversial issues into the public domain; and brought about many changes in legislation and government policy”
