About AAUW
- The AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN is an association of 150,000 university graduates.
- National Conventions are held biennially in the states that have ratified the Equal Rights Amendment.
- AAUW began in Boston in 1881 with a dual purpose - to further the education and advancement of women and to utilize the privilege of higher education for community betterment. Today these goals are just as vital.
- The four areas of interest remain constant - Cultural, Community, Education, and International Relations.
- A committee on "Women" was added as an action arm for women's issues. Out of members' expressions of emerging interests and issues, suggested biennial topics and issues are formulated by the Association Program Development Committee and chosen by the Board.
- The issue for this biennium is AAUW Initiative for Educational Equity.
- These issues are implemented in study-action groups under any of the four areas of interest. The number of study-action groups in a branch is limited only by branch interest and leadership.
- AAUW is an association of women and men helping its members achieve excellence through continuing education, community involvement, the arts, and legislation.
- AAUW is neither a social nor an invitational organization.
