About the Guam Women's Club

The Guam Women’s Club was the first women’s organization in Guam. It was founded in February of 1952 and formally incorporated as a non-profit organization on 10 March 1953. The original incorporator members included Patricia M. Ehrhart, Betty Pilgrim, Bethia C. Sessions, Phyllis H. Tyng, Melba Shriver, Isabel T. Guzman, and Agueda I. Johnston.

The purposes of the Club are:
• To investigate, discuss and seek improvement of conditions within the Territory of Guam which affects the general welfare, education, and health of the population;
• To engage in research on local, Pacific-Asiatic and World problems;
• To lend support to other civic and service organizations in their efforts to better local conditions;
• To extend the public benefit phase of the Club to as many people as possible;
• To engage in fundraising activities for the purpose of securing funds to be used for public benefit programs.

The Club is governed by a twelve-member executive council comprised of an elected board of directors, chairpersons of the membership, luncheon, and publicity committees who are appointed by the president and approved by the board of directors, an immediate past officer of the club and the club historian who is appointed by the president.
