The Church announced changes in their organizations that will help meet the global needs of women and girls ages 8 and older:

1. The newly-formed Young Women general board now has 5 members who live outside of Utah (Africa, Brazil, Japan, Peru, and New York) and 4 from the Wasatch Front.
2. The Relief Society, Young Women, and Primary leadership training seminars previously held in the Spring in Salt Lake will now become online training available for Latter-day Saint women leaders around the world in multiple languages. The training will now take place after general conference so it can focus on the priorities and the words of our prophets at general conference.
3. As announced previously, the Church will hold a twice-yearly general women’s meeting rather than 2 separate annual meetings for women and young women. Further, this meeting will include girls ages 8 and over.
