Minutes and Reports 1913-1931

The series comprises minutes from meetings of the Women's Missionary Conference (WMC) of the Evangelical Lutheran Joint Synod of Ohio and Other States (JSO) from 1913-1931 and reports presented at WMC conventions in 1928 and 1930. The minutes record the first meetings of the conference, when it was meeting annually, biennial conference meetings, and meetings of the Executive Board and Executive Committee. Of particular interest are the minutes from the very first meetings of the WMC. The first meeting occurred in 1913 and the second meeting in 1914 involved the creation of a formal organization. The minutes record number of delegates present, election results, matters discussed, reports presented by the various standing committees, treasury reports, resolutions passed, and in the first several meetings brief synopses of papers presented and talks given. The minutes were kept in a notebook, but for preservation purposes the notebook covers were removed. Other material is this series includes two reports given at the 1928 and 1930 conventions of the WMC. These convention reports include summary reports for the biennium from the president, financial secretary, the departments of work, and statistics on conference membership and contributions. These reports are the only ones available in this series. Copies of similar WMC reports are located in JSO 0/1 Convention Proceedings and Minutes, Joint Synod of Ohio and its Districts, 1812-1930.
