WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 /Christian Newswire/ -- Concerned Women for America (CWA) is thrilled to announce the selection of Janne Myrdal as State Director for North Dakota.  Janne has extensive experience in serving the public.  She is known for her recent work as the Co-Director of the Pregnancy Help Center of Park River, ND.  Also, Janne served for 12 years as a missionary with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) working in numerous capacities and in many different countries.

Janne Myrdal became a CWA State Director because she believes North Dakota citizens are concerned about the core issues on CWA's agenda.  Some of her goals for her state include involvement in the public policy issues facing ND lawmakers, as well as starting Prayer/Action Chapters across her state as a means to educate and serve the citizenry of North Dakota in regards to pro-life and pro-family issues.

As North Dakota's new State Director, Janne will work with the approximately 1,000 CWA members in the state to build additional Prayer/Action Chapters and coordinate CWA's grassroots activities in legislation and media.  CWA's goals are to preserve the eternal values that support the Biblical design of the family, protect life at all stages, fight pornography and obscenity, tackle the declining quality of education, support the rights of individuals to pray and worship without persecution and increase understanding of the United Nations and its agenda.

Beverly LaHaye founded CWA in 1979.  Since that time, CWA has become the nation's largest public policy women's organization with more than 500,000 members.  Its mission is to protect and promote Biblical values among all citizens—first through prayer, then education, and finally by influencing our society—thereby reversing the decline in moral values in our nation.
