YWCA CASS CLAY WELCOMES ALEJANDRA Y. CASTILLO, YWCA USA CEO YWCA Cass Clay was honored to welcome Alejandra Y. Castillo, YWCA USA CEO, to North Dakota at the begining of August. Never before has the CEO of YWCA USA, our national organization, visited North Dakota in YWCA Cass Clay’s 113-year history. Castillo is the leader of the largest women’s advocacy organization in the nation and joined us to celebrate the Grand Opening of Grace Garden: A YWCA Supported Residence. Prior to the grand opening, Castillo joined board members and staff to learn more about the impact YWCA is having in the region. “YWCA is one of the first and largest networks in the nation and world, serving more than 2 million women, girls and their families every year at over 200 local associations. As the largest network of domestic violence service providers in the country, we have a long history of providing services to survivors of violence from all walks of life.” said Castillo, “I am honored to be in North Dakota to celebrate our continued social impact and growth in our collective power with the dedication of Grace Garden.”
