•  Provide ideas for YOUth in mission activities that encompass multiple generations.

Meet the Committee on Young Women

Ever wondered who you would contact about getting resources for Young Women? Or better yet, have you ever wondered who is responsible for ensuring the Young Woman Representatives have a joyful, meaningful, and educational experience at national LWML Conventions?  Well it is the Committee on Young Women of course! 

You are looking at the 2017–2019 Committee. Members are (pictured from left to right) Kimberlea Lessman, South Dakota District; Brianne Stahlecker, Nebraska South District; Abby Faske, Texas District; and Chairman Carrie Brumbaugh, Wyoming District. 

This biennium the committee will focus on ALL young women, not just young woman representatives. We are putting together some great resources to help districts engage, equip, and encourage more young women and youth to participant in the LWML.
