Mandatory Bylaws Amendments Required by National AAUW
State and branch officers recently received notice that their bylaws must be amended by May 15th, 2012 to bring them into conformance with recent changes to AAUW bylaws required by D.C. and IRS regulations. Because these are mandatory changes, they do not require a vote by members. State Bylaws Chair Sally Kearsley (bylaws@aauw-wa.org) provided information to help guide branches with this task.

Branch and State Happenings
Use the AAUW Member Showcase calendar to publicize your branch events. Anyone, member and non-member alike, can access the Member Showcase calendar on the AAUW website. You can include hyperlinks to your branch website and/or attach documents. It is a great vehicle for publicizing scholar recognition events, EYH conferences, fundraising events, branch meetings, special interest groups, outings – the list is endless!
When searching for events, use the Branch/State Calendar to display only events for your branch or for AAUW-WA.
To request authorization to add events for your branch to the AAUW Member Showcase calendar, have the Branch president send a request – including branch name and state, plus name, email address, and phone number of authorized person from your branch - to AAUWCalendar@aauw.org.
Welcome
The photo above shows a rare moment of stillness during the 2012 AAUW-WA state convention on the campus of the University of Washington – Tacoma on April 13-15th.
Over the course of 3 days, 100+ women explored the theme of Smashing Barriers to Equity in Education - learning, sharing, discussing, re-energizing.
The campus facilities were comfortable, the food was good, the weather lovely, and ideas flew fast and furious.
If you attended, be sure to share your feedback by completing the survey in your email inbox.
Stay tuned for more reflections on the convention in the near future....
