Board of Management elections are conducted every year at our Annual General Meeting held in October. To be eligible to vote at an Annual General Meeting you must become a voting member . Board members set the strategic direction of the YWCA of Adelaide, monitor implementation of the strategy and support the Chief Executive and staff in implementing YWCA programs.  Members elect the Board to steer the association into the future. Your membership and vote are necessary to ensure quality leadership within the YWCA of Adelaide.

The Board meets each month and has an Executive Committee to manage matters which arise between meetings.
