Hot off the press! YWomen Under 30 E-newsletter unveiled.

The first YWomen Under 30 e-newsletter was sent to all Southeast Executive Directors today. The primary purpose of the YWomen newsletter is to keep young women informed about exciting things happening in our sister associations and new opportunities. Each e-newsletter will highlight an achieving young woman in the region. Katie Nelson, office manager for the YWCA of the Lower Cape Fear, was our first young woman to be recognized. To receive a copy of the e-newsletter or to be added to the mailing list, please email Jenna Lodge at jlodgeywca@yahoo.com.
