“I am delighted to serve with these six extraordinary women,” said GFWC International President Suellen B. Brazil. “Each brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her position and has proven themselves to be dedicated and enthusiastic about GFWC and the causes for which it advocates. Their strength in leadership will positively impact GFWC future.”
The General Federation of Women’s Clubs, an international organization, is the nation’s oldest nonpartisan, nondenominational women’s volunteer service organization that unites local women’s clubs in a collective effort to strengthen communities and enhance the lives of others through volunteer service.
With more than 60,000 members in affiliated clubs in every state, the District of Columbia, and more than a dozen countries, GFWC members work in their own communities to support the arts, preserve natural resources, advance education, promote healthy lifestyles, and encourage civic involvement, issues related to domestic and sexual violence awareness/prevention, and advocating for children.
