The Annual FAWCO Conference
Representatives from the FAWCO clubs meet annually to discuss and adopt
resolutions which will direct FAWCO's activities for the coming year on
issues such as overseas voting, dual-citizenship, environmental concerns,
literacy, women's health, and human rights. The FAWCO Foundation announces
its Education Award and Development Grant winners at the meeting.
The conference also offers practical training sessions in organizational

own organizations.

Official Charity of the Boston Conference
FAUSA
selected the Americans Overseas Domestic Violence Crisis Center as our
official charity of the Boston Conference.
The group works with abused Americans and their children in foreign countries to provide domestic violence and child abuse advocacy, resources and tools so that they can navigate the complicated jurisdictional, legal and social international landscapes, to be able to live their lives free of abuse either in the foreign country or back in the United States. This is achieved via an international toll free crisis line, 866-USWOMEN, accessible from 175 countries, serving a population estimated at 6 million American civilians overseas.
You can learn more about the Americans Overseas Domestic Violence Crisis Center and read the inspiring story of its founder (and FAUSA member), Paula Lucas, on their website: http://www.866uswomen.org.
