1:00 AAUW member action and interaction

Finding and using our public voices, as we address

important to you.

Facilitator Maggie Ford with Hollie Bagley, Pat Bologna,
Betsy Eggleston, Charmen Goehring-Fox, Pat Rathbun









AAUW advances equity for women and girls
through advocacy, education and research.
As our keynote speakers share their stories, we are invited to interact with them.  Through their role-modeling, we will reach new understandings, form connections and create new insights toward individual and organizational empowerment.

In the afternoon, we will translate these understandings into AAUW action.  New England leaders will facilitate frank discussion on program planning, membership recruitment and alternative state and branch structures.  We will share experiences and learn from each other as we adapt to changes within AAUW.

This will be a relevant conference for all of us, with many 'take-aways'. Any interested individuals are welcome to attend; however, the afternoon session would be more meaningful to AAUW members.
