Vote in April on Change to Membership Requirements

We are preparing to vote to change the AAUW Membership requirements to open membership to any individual who supports AAUW’s purpose of advancing equity for women and girls. This change recognizes our history of expanding inclusion for AAUW membership and proliferation of non-collegiate training programs and trade certification as a means to having a rewarding career. Join us on March 28, 7 pm to learn about the AAUW membership history, benefits of the bylaws change and the next steps to prepare to vote in April.

Registration required.
