Conferences, 1960

Scope and Contents

Documents concerning the planning, preparations and proceedings of the 1960 YWCA of the U.S.A. eastern region conference. Regional conferences are an opportunity for delegates from local associations to gather together and discuss matters of national, regional and international importance in between national conventions. Conferences include addresses from leaders of the YWCA of the U.S.A. as well as prominent members of the community and visitors. Conference topics include inclusivity across economics and class, YWCA of the U.S.A. health examination policy, the young adult program and the role of the YWCA of the U.S.A. as a Christian Movement. The eastern conference includes "laboratory groups" to study and discuss the role and function of the YWCA of the U.S.A. association in different community types. Delegates are bussed to a location representing the community type they are discussing to enhance discussions. Documents include conference reports and statistics, conference planning documents, summaries of addresses and discussion sessions, bulletins and programs. Documents are arranged by topic as indicated in the index at the beginning of the microdex.
