There are ACW branches in many parishes across Canada. Each Diocese has a President and Board. Each eccleastical province has a representative who sits on the National Executive Committee, with the Coordinator and Assistant Coordinator. A national presidents conference is held annually, at different locations across the country.

Within the Diocese of New Westminster, A.C.W. branches are organized into three areas. Each Area has a coordinator who sits on the Board, keeping contact with branches, and helping to arrange the yearly Area meeting..

The Anglican Church Women (A.C.W.) was formed

• To unite women in fellowship of worship, study and stewardship which will deepen and strengthen their own spiritual lives and which will lead them into Christian service everywhere.
• To arouse and sustain an informed interest in the total mission of the church.

The A.C.W. is open to all women of the Anglican Church.

There are 36 branches of the A.C.W. in 33 parishes in the Diocese of New Westminster.

Anglican Church Women are involved in many activities: collecting "freebies" for school projects, gathering offerings for many causes, and making up A.C.W. bales of clothing for parishes in the Yukon.
