What a Time we had at our 30th Anniversary Conference!

Over 40 YWCA executives joined us in Laguna Niguel, California for our three day conference in November.

Full of inspiring and informative speakers, and opportunities to network with others, our CEOs and Executive Directors enjoyed a sunny respite from their demanding leadership roles.

Just a few comments from the conference included;

• "A wealth of information"
• "Great opportunity to network"
• "Important in the role of leadership to be knowledgeable of trends and share best practices"
• "Very encouraging and empowering"
• "Great professional development opportunity"
• "Don't wait like I did for several years -- you need this and will love it"!

All directors with paid NAYE memberships also have access to our new NAYE EDCamp interactive site to continue the sharing of valuable information, discover new resources, have real time discussions between other YWCA executives, and share documents, multi-media and audio files to help grow your association and the YWCA as a whole.
