| Women of the ELCA |
Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is a division of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Our current name was devised when
two of the largest Lutheran churches in America merged in 1990.
Women have always been a powerful force in the church and continue to be so
today.
The Rocky Mountain Synodical Women's Organization is comprised of women throughout
Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and part of Texas.

| Cluster Representation |
|
The Rocky Mountain Synodical Women's Organization is broken into clusters
which are similar to conferences. Each cluster has a cluster
coordinator who is responsible for disseminating information from the board.
Cluster coordinators are volunteers and receive special training from the Board
to assist them in these important positions. One member of the RMSWO Board
is designated as Cluster Administrator and is responsible for keeping our
cluster coordinators in the loop.
Duties of Cluster Coordinators include, assisting local units wherever
possible and in bringing the units within the cluster together once a year for a
retreat or special program.

| Unit Representation |
|
A unit can be congregational or special in the case of university students or
other Evangelical Lutherans who do not have a local congregational unit.
Each unit is responsible for electing or appointing their own executive
leadership in accordance with the local unit's constitution. Each unit
also sends a representative to vote at the biennial business meeting.
