Why am I a member?

1. I belong to AAUW for the fellowship with many interesting women who also belong, and for the programs that are presented to enrich our lives. I definitely feel this is one of the perks of having a college degree.  Many of these women I would not come in contact with often if we were not AAUW members.  I look forward each month to small groups such as book group and travel group.  Our fundraisers – house tours and book sales – take time but I am happy to participate in order to raise money to give to needy students to attend college.  AAUW’s goals of being an advocate and visible leader in equity and education make it a very worthwhile organization.

2. I want to support the AAUW mission and the lobbying efforts to promote equal rights and education for women and girls.
I worry that in this changing world, women’s rights will  again be limited and AAUW is keeping women’s issues in the news I have met the most amazing women of all ages at AAUW meetings and events.
AAUW provides so many ways to learn new things and keep my mind active with book groups, study groups, stimulating and informational meetings.
I have made friendships with women I would never have met any other way.
AAUW  provides wonderful  networking opportunities  which help me in work on other civic projects.

3. I am a member of AAUW because over the years I have made friends with many vibrant women working to implement positive changes in the world.  I’ve been a member since the early 1970s.

4. I am a member of the AAUW because I enjoy being with other women who are interested in learning and because I am interested in promoting interest in local, state, and educational issues.
