    Biographical history

    The British Columbia Conference Branch of the Woman's Association of the United Church was organized in 1951 and held its first annual meeting in 1952. Prior to that date, branches of the Woman's Association operated in several congregations throughout the Conference, and presbyterial branches had been organized in Vancouver Presbytery in 1941, in Kamloops-Okanagan Presbytery in 1947, and in Westminster Presbytery in 1951. The purpose of the association was "to deepen the spiritual life of the women of the Church, and to develop a programme of Christian fellowship and service, personal evangelism and stewardship." In 1962, the Woman's Association was merged with the Woman's Missionary Society to form the United Church Women.
