Minutes and registration forms for the National Student Assembly of the YWCA of the U.S.A. at the 1967 National Convention of the YWCA of the U.S.A. Assemblies meet at national convention time as the national representative body of their constituent groups. During assembly sessions they discuss the pressing problems facing their groups, vote on program recommendations, engage in leadership development and submit reports to the convention. Like convention itself, assemblies are a chance from delegates to meet other members from across the country and internationally and exchange ideas and skills. Minutes record the presentations and discussions from the assembly sessions and are followed by rosters, resolutions and actions, and registration forms.
