National Council of Women of Canada :: Le Conseil national des femmes du Canada

National Organizations

Nationally Organized Societies (NOS) are national organizations of women, or women and men, which have members in various parts of Canada, whose work is national in scope, and whose objectives are in harmony with those of the Council.

No society entering into federation with the Council shall lose its independence or be committed to the principles of any other federated society of National Council. It may be referred to as either Nationally Organized Society (NOS) or as one of the federated organizations of NCWC (a federate).

Each Nationally Organized Society is a member of the National Council voting body, receiving a weighted vote of 6, through either the Society's President or her/his designate. Nationally Organized Societies are encouraged to participate in the Annual Meeting, to nominate suitable members of their organization for office in the Council and communicate with National Council regarding issues of mutual concern.

Nationally Organized Societies receive regular Council mailings, the Annual Report, and the quarterly newsletter. They will be asked to submit a report of their activities to National Council for the Annual Meeting and are encouraged to submit items to the newsletter as well as to the National Council office for distribution to the Council mailing list.

More information on Nationally Organized Societies that are current members of the National Council of Women of Canada is available in our Links & Resources. If you are interested in learning more about how your organization can join, please contact National Council office.
