It has already been a busy year for the Country Women’s Association (CWA) of NSW with multiple advocacy activities, and preparations for the Sydney Royal Easter Show and annual State Conference in full swing, and they’re now encouraging more women to consider becoming involved.
During April and May, the ‘Find Your Place’ campaign is urging NSW and ACT women to consider joining their local CWA branch and the Canowindra Branch is getting right behind it.
“The CWA of NSW is a group where you can become involved with so many different activities, from fundraising for your local community and broader causes, to helping set association policies that become part of a wider advocacy agenda,” said Cathy Smith, Canowindra Branch President.
There are currently 8000 members in 360 branches throughout NSW, and Cathy Smith said they were keen to continue growing that membership base to ensure a strong future for the association, which turned 100 in 2022.
“The CWA of NSW has achieved so much for women and children in regional, rural and remote NSW communities, which has been possible through a united and passionate voice, and we want to keep that voice strong into the future,” she said.
“Becoming a member of the CWA of NSW offers so many new opportunities and experiences, and within our branch I know you’ll find a supportive and friendly group of women, who may come from different backgrounds, but who are all united by the desire to make a positive change for women, children and communities right across the state,” said Cathy Smith.
