What is AAUW?

This theme represents a shared commitment by the Association and the Educational Foundation to build a coordinated, collaborative, and contemporary portfolio of AAUW programs that will serve the mission of AAUW, support and engage members and prospective members, and, in the process, move the organization forward in a focused and strategic manner.
