Nevada Capital Branch of American Association of University Women to hold Aug. 24 membership event
The Nevada Capital Branch of American Association of University Women will be kicking off its 2018-19 program year on August 24, 2018 at 4PM. Members and guests will be celebrating 75 years of advocating for equity for women and girls in Carson City and surrounding communities.
"The AAUW Capital Branch has been serving the Carson City, Gardnerville, and Dayton communities since 1944," stated Caroline Punches, President. "We are proud to be part of a dynamic national organization with a long history of affecting change on the issues we care about: education, civil rights, equity in the workplace and on college campuses, gender discrimination and more."
Attendees at the August 24th Fall Membership Soiree will learn about our goals and activities for our 75th
year! Our monthly meetings focus on issues that affect women and children today. AAUW Capital (NV) Branch members are life-long learners, volunteers and advocates for community issues. We provide scholarships to local high school girls to enable them to continue their education.
We also support AAUW Fellowships and Grants which support women scholars and their research projects. AND, we provide Salary Negotiation workshops for local women. These activities are funded by our annual Feast of Chocolate in February as well as Pecan Sales each fall.
Membership is open to anyone holding an associate or equivalent, baccalaureate, or higher degree from a regionally accredited college or university. Individuals who have received honorary degrees from qualified institutions are also eligible for membership.
