Calling Young Women of the LWML!
Are you ready for an exciting and inspiring LWML experience? The LWML Central Illinois District is looking for Young Women Representatives (YWRs) to attend the 2027 LWML Convention in Oklahoma City!
Young women are encouraged to apply for the opportunity to represent our district at the national convention. Those selected will attend with most convention expenses paid by the LWML Central Illinois District.
As a YWR, you will experience the excitement of an LWML Convention, grow in your faith, learn more about the mission of the LWML, and meet other Young Women Representatives from across the country. It is a wonderful opportunity to make new friends, worship together, serve together, and see firsthand how God is working through the LWML.
Trust me—I know! I had the privilege of serving as a YWR at the 2007 LWML Convention in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and it was an experience I will always remember.
Could Oklahoma City 2027 be your YWR experience?
