Membership is open to all women who hold an Associate degree or higher from qualified institutions. This would include RNs. Anyone interested in joining our organization should call our membership vice-president.
As AAUW members, we know the value of belonging to such a vital organization. Share your enthusiasm for this wonderful group of women by inviting a friend to our "Getting to Know Us" event for prospective members and for all our new members of the past year.
Rose with PA AAUW State Membership VP, Jean Macaluso
One Member, One Vote, adopted at the 2009 AAUW National Convention, changed AAUW national elections from a delegate-only process to one that gives every member a vote. Every member needs to know about the new voting process and that the details are posted online now. We need your help in getting this message out!
Members can now propose bylaws amendments, resolutions, and Public Policy Program revisions/additions, as well as make comments and submit an application for national board candidacy on the AAUW website. Candidate applications are due by October 1, and the deadline to submit proposals is November 17. In early December, members will be able to “meet” the candidates online through biographies, videos, and candidate links.
Members were notified by e-mail about this online process in early August, but many may have missed the notice or don’t have e-mail. We urge member leaders to provide this information to all branch and state members through all their various channels. To learn more about the process, we recommend that you read the One Member, One Vote Current Topics Briefing and FAQ posted on the AAUW website and look for more details in the Fall, Winter, and Spring/Summer issues of AAUW Outlook.
To access the One Member, One Vote section of website from the AAUW home page, click on Member Center in the top right corner, log in with your member ID, and select One Member, One Vote. Members can find their member ID on their AAUW Outlook mailing label or by using the Member ID Lookup link available on the AAUW Member Log-In page.
Sincerely,
Linda D. Hallman, CAE
AAUW Executive Director
