Country Women's Association

Association of Country Women of the World

ACWW is the largest international organisation for rural women. It has a uniquely down-to-earth approach, offering mutual support, friendship and practical help to its members. The organisation has a membership of nine million through its 365 Member Societies in over 70 countries.

ACWW holds a South Pacific Area Conference (the Triennial Conference) every three years.

The last Triennial South Pacific Area Conference was held in Perth, Western Australia, 8-12 September 2008.

ACWW holds a World Conference (the Triennial Conference) every three years. Each Member Society may be represented, and Individual Members can attend.

The next ACWW Triennial Conference will be held in Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA in 2010.

The Association is considering organising a pre-conference tour prior to the 2010 ACWW Conference in Arkansas, USA. We have worked with Quadrant Australia (the travel agents who have worked with us previously on tours) to come up with a draft itinerary for consideration. Members are asked to lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the International Officer, Margaret Brown by 1 August 2009 in order to determine if there is enough interest to conduct the tour.
