Kati is fairly new in her faith. She was baptized and confirmed as adult. Her local LWML society in the South Wisconsin District needed someone to help revitalize the group. After praying about it, Kati knew that was something she wanted to take on. Under her leadership, the group is doing more servant events and growing. Kati is going to be a Young Woman Representative at the Albuquerque Convention, and is "over the moon excited about it". She wants to learn all she can and make many new friends. Kati is someone we should meet in Albuquerque.

Sherrie Smith, chairman, is thrilled and honored to be the chairman of the Committee on Young Women. She finds these young women’s enthusiasm to be very inspiring and sometimes even a little tiring. Sherrie is the mom of three young people in their 20’s and two of them are young women. She teaches two year old preschool and is a coordinator of children’s ministry. She has served in LWML in various positions on every level. Serving in LWML is a source of much joy for Sherrie.

Melissa Brock has served in various capacities on the society, zone, and district level of the LWML. She has been in funeral service for 17 years, co-executive director of the Miss Oahe Scholarship Pageant, and participates in various recreational activities. Melissa has a flip flop fetish and owns a pair in every color! She served as an YWR to the Portland convention and is eager to share her enthusiasm with all of you!

Molly Dixon is a disorganized, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants mother of 4 children, and farm wife extraordinaire. She lives on a farm in Pleasanton with her husband, Pete, of 18 years and has been a stay at home Mom to their 3 sons and daughter, although you rarely find her at home. Her home is never spotless and the laundry never done. Molly is an individual member of the LWML and has served in various offices. She was a Young Woman Representative to Oklahoma a few years ago, and that bus ride is what “hooked” her to LWML.

Jennette Heller is a blessed, baptized child of God, wife to Brian, parish deaconess, and knitter extraordinaire. She loves fellowshipping with people of all ages and has an old soul for her age. Jennette has been to four national LWML conventions serving in various ways and loves anything LWML related. A fun fact about her is that she has a cow kitchen and collects cows.

The purpose of the Committee on Young Women is to:

Produce and facilitate the Young Woman Representatives (YWR) program for the LWML Convention.
Encourage and mentor younger women to connect and grow in relationships as sisters in Christ.
