Goals for the position and the contribution the candidate believes she can personally make if elected or appointed

My goal is to bring my skills and experience to bear on the work of the Membership committee thereby enhancing its performance. I want to encourage and assist in the formation of new affiliates. I believe that IFUW is better positioned to assist in bringing peace back to this world by encouraging these affiliates to foster peace in their respective countries. The more affiliates we admit the more IFUW objectives will be realized. I believe it is worth while spending some extra time to counsel the young affiliates regarding membership drive, growth and projects that will that will encourage these and lead to achievement of our objectives. I will be willing to offer my time to give this assistance.
