Administrative history
The precursor to the ACWW was founded 1929 in London, England as the International Conference of Rural Women. By 1933 in Stockholm, Sweden the organization had assumed its current name and mission, which is to “represent rural women, facilitate better access to better information resources, funding community development projects and training programmes.” The ACWW remains headquartered in the UK. Its first president was Mrs. Alfred Watt (born Margaret Rose Robertson), who had previously served as a member of Metchosin Women's Institute (South Vancouver Island) and secretary of the Women's Institute Advisory Board for British Columbia. Per the ACWW official website, the organization “holds Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), and the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO).”
