Education and Equity

“Education as the Gateway to Women’s Economic Security” is the new theme for AAUW’s legislative and education efforts.  This theme represents a shared commitment by the Association and the Educational Foundation to provide a coordinated, collaborative, and contemporary portfolio of AAUW programs that will fit 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.  Find more information from the national site.
