What's New

Online Branch Officer Report is Available on this Website

June 27, 2009

This year, for the first time, there is an online process for branches to submit their incoming board officers to AAUW CA. The form can be found at www.aauw-ca.org/bor.

Each outgoing (2008-09) president and president-elect was sent an email broadcast which contained instructions and a unique username and password. The information they enter about their 2009-10 officers will be automatically entered into our database and used for the annual state directory. It is also the basis for our email contact with branch leaders throughout the year.

This process is in addition to submitting branch officers to the national database at Association. Separate instructions were mailed to outgoing presidents for that process.

Any questions or comments regarding the AAUW CA online process should be sent to webteam@aauw-ca.org.

Your California LAF Dollars At Work Now!!

June 21, 2009

In late May, the Educational Foundation board voted to divide $18,000 in funding among the five current Legal Advocacy Fund supported plaintiffs. Of the five cases, four of them are in our own state of California. This is one good reason that we must continue supporting LAF!

Thanks to everyone who donated to LAF to help balance the scales of justice for women.

April 06, 2009

Congratulations to Ginny Hatfield and the San Fernando Valley Branch!

To celebrate Financial Literacy month the SFV branch showcased a very successful Financial Literacy 101 pilot project on April 2nd. Three AAUW CA Directors volunteered and had the great pleasure of doing a worthwhile community service while fulfilling AAUW’s vision of education, research and advocacy.

Junior Achievement provided a daylong workshop with the collaboration of a number of entities and provided the facility used. Four high schools of the L.A. Unified School District participated by sending more than eighty students from their 11th and 12th grade classes. [More]
