Younger Women's Task Force YWTF -- A project of the National Council of Women's Organizations

The Boston chapter of YWTF was reorganized in September 2006. As the only national organization by and for women in their 20s and 30s dedicated to advancement of our own unique agenda, Boston's YWTF seeks to develop the next generation of women business and community leaders. Our events bring together younger women to discuss the issues which matter most to them and feature young women who have successfully conquered issues at work, in life and have broken the glass ceiling. We're making waves at work, in politics and in our communities - join us today!

YWTF Boston is looking for new leadership. Please contact Kristin Fleschner if you are interested. Contact information: kfleschner@ncwo-online.org. 202.293.4505
