AAUW promotes equity for all women and girls, lifelong education, and

positive societal change.



Since 1881 the American Association of University Women has been the

nation's leading voice promoting education and equity for women and girls.

The Association, with more than 100,000 members, 1,300 branches, and 550

college/university institution partners nationwide, advocates education and

equity. Since its founding in 1881, members have examined and taken

positions on the fundamental issues of the day, educational, social,

economic, and political. Our commitment to our mission is reflected in our

public policy efforts, programs, Leadership and Training Institute, and

diversity initiatives. AAUW's work extends globally through its

international connections and membership in the International Federation of

University Women.
