Documents concerning the business and professional assembly at the Sixteenth National Convention of the Young Women's Christian Associations of the United States of America. The theme for the business and professional assembly is "Direction for courageous living" and it compliments the national emphases of democracy, world citizenship, and religion. Bulletins sent out prior to the assembly prepare participants for the discussions, summarize work done since the last convention and ask for feedback concerning the experiences of business women in local associations. The post-assembly bulletin provides a detailed overview of assembly business and addresses for those who may not have attended. Proceedings follow the assembly meetings recording business and discussions as well as presentation and remarks. The changing role of the professional businesswomen is discussed throughout as is the Business and Professional Assembly's relationship with the national movement.
