 The Association
Mission:
The American Association of University Women advances equity for women and girls through advocacy, education and research.
The American Association of University Women (AAUW), a 100,000 member organization with more than 1,300 branches nationwide, lobbies and advocates for gender equity; works with teachers, administrators, students and parents to institute gender-fair education programs in schools; provides leadership training; and promotes multicultural awareness and action.
The Association's voice has long influenced legislative debate on critical social issues such as education, sex discrimination, civil rights, reproductive choice, affirmative action, Title IX, welfare reform, vocational education, pay equity, family and medical leave, and health care reform. |

Current advocacy programs on a national level include:: AAUW voter education campaign, an initiative that uses a nationwide Get the Facts fax and e-mail network to educate women voters, mobilize the grassroots, launch organized get-out-the-vote drives, and get more women to the polls.

Sister-to-Sister Summits, a nationwide series of girls conferences. In 1997, Philadlephia Branch AAUW hosted the prototype for this exciting series.
