Starting A New Women’s Club

Across Canada there are approximately 300 active women's clubs formed under the aegis of the provincial women's commissions.

If you are interested in forming a new club it is recommended that you contact your regional Vice President for more information and assistance.

Listed below are detailed instructions, according to the National Women’s Liberal Commission’s bylaws, on how a club may be started.

Initially

A club is formed when a group of at least 10 women Liberals hold a founding meeting, elect an interim executive and adopt a constitution or set of bylaws. To be recognized by the NWLC a club must have at least 25 members;

- Hold an annual meeting for the purpose of electing an executive;

- Forward the club's original constitution/bylaws on formation and any amendments that might be made at any time, to the NWLC director;

- Forward to the NWLC director annually: Minutes of the club's
annual general meeting, an annual affiliation fee and a list of both executive and membership;

- Be recognized by its provincial or territorial women's Liberal commission.

To be recognized by a provincial/territorial women’s Liberal commission:

- A club must be duly constituted at a formal meeting and must have at least 25 members in good standing;

- A letter asking for recognition must be sent to the provincial/territorial women's Liberal commission;

- The letter should enclose the following documents:

a)The minutes of the founding meeting indicating the date, place and names with address and telephone numbers of the people attending the meeting.

b)A membership list with the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the members and the executive

c)The constitution or bylaws of the club.

d)A letter signed by the club president stating that all members of the club are in good standing (i.e. they have paid their dues);

e) A list of the current executive, together with addresses and contact phone numbers.

The provincial/territorial women's Liberal commission will study the documents and will forward a letter of recognition to the club;

The club is responsible for forwarding a copy of this letter of recognition to the NWLC director.

To obtain certification to send a delegate to a convention:

- club must be recognized by the NWLC in compliance with article 7.02 of the NWLC bylaws and

- club must have been recognized as a club at the date of the call of the convention.
