Nationally Organized Societies (NOS) also called Federates/Affiliates

Information About National Organized Societies (NOS)

No society entering into federation with the National Council of Women of Canada shall lose its independence or be committed to the principles of any other federated society of National Council. It may be referred to as either Nationally Organized Society (a NOS) or as one of the federated organizations of NCWC (a federate).

Each NOS is a member of the NCWC’s voting body, receiving a weighted vote of 10, through either the Society’s President or her/his designate. NOS are encouraged to participate in the Annual Meeting, to nominate suitable members of their organization for office in the Council, and communicate with the NCWC regarding issues of mutual concern.

NOS receive regular Council mailings, the Annual Report, and the ‘News from National’. They will be asked to submit a report of their activities to NCWC for the Annual Meeting and are encouraged to submit items to the NCWC office for distribution to the Council mailing list.
