Documents concerning the YWCA of Montgomery County, Maryland and inquires into organizing new associations in Elkton, Frederick, Hagerstown and Patuxent River, Maryland. Prior to developing new associations, the YWCA of the U.S.A. studies the current services for women in an area, the community interest, community need and potential leadership. These factors are considered in visitation reports and correspondence with the community leaders and organizers. The YWCA of Montgomery County is affiliated in 1948. Correspondence, minutes and reports document the county association's provisional committee's efforts to organize official work and become an affiliated association. In addition, correspondence concerning the development of constitutions and bylaws as well as examples of these governing documents provide record of the association's development.
