Forrest Darlings CWA

July heralds the excitement of the 99th CWA State Conference at the Novotel Perth Langley. The highlight of the year for many CWA members, this annual event brings together members of CWA branches from right across WA. This year’s theme is “Embracing Change.”

Conference delegates are asked to reflect on this quote from Pauline R Kezer:

Continuity gives us roots; changes gives us branches, letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights.

2024 will mark the 100th anniversary of the CWA of WA. We are on the threshold of the next century of service to the Western Australian Community. The theme of “Embracing Change” has been chosen to acknowledge and respect our past, and to show bravery in pioneering new ideas and being change makers for our future sustainability.

We look forward to the conference and to embracing change with members from across the State. At our June meeting we discussed the conference motions and made our decisions on how our delegate will vote at the conference. The motions cover a range of topical issues put forward by the branches such as road safety, rural schools and grandparent carers.

Forrest Darlings is a modern branch of the CWA of WA which meets monthly at the Darlington Pavilion. Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month at 7pm. For more information about joining or visiting contact Kate Herren (President) on 0452 644 248 or follow Forrest Darlings on Facebook.
