BRIEF HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA WOMEN
FOR AGRICULTURE
Established in 1975 with the Coachel la Valley Chap-
ter, the purpose of CWA - California Women for
Agricu lture - is to function as a volunteer action
group and a voice for the California farmer and
rancher.
CWA's goals are to present to the publ ic, the media
and elected officials the truth about local, state and
national farming and to mobilize for action when
necessary to insure justice for the farmer.
The Santa Clarita Valley Chapter of CWA was
founded in January 1981. At the present time there
are 17 members and since the Chapter's inception
the focus has been on bringing agriculture's story to
the Valley's elementary schools and on promoting
"Ag Day" with local businesses and legislators.
Meetings are held once a month in members homes
and funds are raised by projects as it is a non-profit
organization.
