Because of the integral nature of the GFWC Advancement Guides, Communication & Identity, Fundraising, Leadership, Membership, and th Women's History and Resource Center, these areas are now recognized as core Advancement areas of any successful program.  Each of these areas will have an "advancement" section in the 2010-2012 Club Manual. Public Affairs is defined as the interrelationships between GFWC, its members, the general public, and other entities, including the government. In this guide, you will find ideas, resources, tools, and tips necessary for promoting GFWC clubs, districts, states, regions, and the international organization. It encompasses two GFWC Advancement areas: GFWC Communications and Identity and GFWC Legislation and Public Policy.  It's purpose is to support club, district, state, and national communications and outreach efforts with ideas, resources, and tools, for the purpose of promoting GFWC and the projects and initiatives of GFWC, clubs, districts, and state federations. The purpose of Fundraising is to upport club, district, state, and national fundraising efforts with ideas, resources, and tools, which can generate non-dues revenue to support the projects and initiatives of GFWC, clubs, districts, and state federations. The objective of the Leadership program is to  support club, district, state, and national leadership efforts with ideas, resources, and tools to assist all members in developing their leadership skills. The GFWC Membership Advancement Guide supports clubs with ideas, resources, and tools to ensure the future of the Federation by retaining and recruiting members, renewing Federation pride, and building new GFWC clubs. The Women's History and Resource Center promotes GFWC's history to educate and inspire.
