Faces of AAUW
Meet a Member
My social and professional lives have greatly benefited from being a member of AAUW. Since joining AAUW, I have met so many wonderful, passionate and honest women, many of whom will be lifelong friends. AAUW’s mission has fueled my passion for ‘paying it forward.’
2021 National Election
It’s your AAUW, and your voice counts. It’s time to comment on and propose changes to the AAUW bylaws and Public Policy Priorities.
This spring, AAUW members will vote on a long-standing membership requirement, which creates a barrier to women who do not hold a college degree. By eliminating this requirement, AAUW can become a more diverse and inclusive organization, better aligned with the needs of women today. Check out these resources to learn more about this important step toward true equity for women and girls.
