The National General Secretaries looked back on a successful World Council, and shared hopes and challenges going forward, with special focus on how to make Vision 2030 operational, and align individual YMCA National Movements with a new global strategic framework.
The next meeting will be hosted by Y USA in Colorado, on 26-31 March.
