CFUW is a grass-roots organisation that advocates on issues of concern based on policy approved by the membership through the Resolutions Process. Resolutions are developed by Clubs to respond to these concerns regarding public policy. Resolutions that are national or international in scope, and conforming to CFUW’s purpose and interest, are researched and proposed by CFUW Clubs or National Committees. The subsequent adopted resolutions or policy form the framework for action and advocacy.
