Welcome to
the Young Women Committee Page!
About the Committee
The Young Women Committee was
established to help encourage and
organize the young women to be
active members of LWML. The
committee is responsible for the
Young Women program in the
Washington-Alaska District and
establishes and reviews guidelines
and forms for young women to
attend the national LWML convention
every two years.
From Pam Rafferty, Vice-President of Special Focus Ministries:
The Young Women and Heart to Heart Sisters Committee is looking forward to the District Convention in
Everett, WA, June 21-23, 2024. The theme for this convention is Strong in the Lord and the verse is
taken from Ephesians 6:10: Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his mighty power. In
Christ’s perfect strength, we are empowered to be strong for Him to accomplish the work He has set out
for us to do. God has also already established who will attend the 2024 convention. Is it you? Is it a
young woman or a Heart-to-Heart sister whom He wants to be there to hear His word, to worship, to
fellowship with other LWML sisters, to participate in servant events, and to have fun?!
Our committees are requesting your help in sharing information about the convention with all women
but especially the young women and the Heart-to-Heart Sisters, women of all nations. Encourage them
to attend, share your story of past favorite keynote speakers, mission speakers or Christian Life skits.
Please copy and share the convention information with the young women (ages 18–35) and
Heart to Heart - Sisters of all Nations of your local groups with personal invitations for them to experience the blessings and joy
that we all receive through LWML and at convention.

Young Woman Representatives (YWR) Program
District YWRs
are selected at the society or zone level to participate in the
biennial LWML Washington-Alaska District Convention.
District YWRs participate in special programming geared
towards young women, and also learn more about LWML at the
district level.
Young
Woman Representatives at LWML Conventions
Two young
women are selected by the
Young Women Committee to attend the national LWML convention as
representatives of our district. These young women
(known as National YWRs) attend the convention alongside their
District President, as well as participate in a special program
geared toward young women provided by the LWML Committee on
Young Women. As National YWRs, they will be asked to share their experience at the national convention at the society, zone
or district level. National YWRs will also participate at the
district level by serving on a committee for at least two years
after attending the LWML convention.
Don’t let anyone look down on you because
you are young, but set an example for
the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and
in purity.
1 Timothy 4:12
