History
The Dominion Board was the central authority of the Woman's Missionary Society, and it alone was permitted by the constitution to initiate mission work for the entire Society. It was made up of officers, including a President, General Secretary, Treasurer, and Assistant Treasurer, all of whom were elected at the Annual Meeting. In addition, the Board included the presidents of all the Conference Branches, the Moderator of the Church, one representative from each of several Boards of the Church, two representatives of each Conference Branch, and the secretaries of the Departments of the Society. Its Executive Committee acted for the Society between annual meetings, and it had the power to borrow money, mortgage property, sell or otherwise dispose of all holdings, and establish priorities for the Society.
The General Secretaries were Effie A. Jamieson, 1925-1931; Winnifred Thomas, 1932-1952; and Anne I. Ward, 1952-1961.
