Why Join a Branch

AAUW has been transforming women’s lives for more than a century. And now that we’ve won the fight to give women equal access to education, we’re taking on one of the most defining issues of our time: gender equity. But we can’t do it alone.
AAUW offers lots of opportunities to get involved with a local community of activists. By joining at the branch level, you can serve in leadership roles, sponsor community action projects, and lobby on priority issues like pay equity and Title IX reform.
By becoming a member, you’re not only joining a community committed to our cause. You’re also directly funding our work to:

• • Train millions of women to negotiate for higher salaries and benefits.
  • Support state and local fair-pay legislation to ban the use of salary history in hiring, a practice that puts women at a financial disadvantage.
  • Develop more women leaders through workshops and conferences.

Membership in AAUW also provides a host of perks and benefits. AAUW members:

• • Receive great discounts and special services on insurance, hotels and travel, office supplies, email services and more.
  • Stay informed and active through a host of digital resources and newsletters, including roundups of the latest news and research in gender equity, opportunities to engage in grassroots activism, and updates on AAUW membership resources.
  • Weigh in on who will lead AAUW on its board of directors and decide which public policy issues should be our highest priority.
  • Get the opportunity to participate in one of the committees and task forces that move our agenda forward. Not to mention the many opportunities to play pivotal roles at the state or branch level.
