What makes you get up and go? A tasty meal? An interesting book? A speaker who motivates or touches your heart? Time with a good friend? Volunteering to help children? All of these things got me out the door during our mercurial February. And all of these things presented me with such great rewards- each one satisfying in its own way. These things gave me a sense of community, new knowledge, and personal challenges. If you are sitting at home, wondering what to do, check out the Activities section of this newsletter, read about what you can do to strengthen AAUW’s position in Georgia’s Public Policy column, find a place to volunteer (I do one-on-one tutoring at the Family Resource Center), call a friend to celebrate or commiserate, or read a good book. Enjoy life and make things happen. Let me know if you need any help. aauwwhcmembership@gmail.com

West Harris County AAUW Presentation for the 2022 Membership Coffee Slideshow

Membership

AAUW-WHC is an organization of many hard working members.  Mary Andersen, Diana Tiberia, and Pam Doan have done a mammoth job of getting renewed and new members into the 2023-2024 Directory.  Many phone calls and emails to remind members to renew membership paid off.  Not only does West Harris County Branch want to maintain members, but we also want to grow and we have at the Membership Coffee. Thank you to those members that sponsored new members. We welcome new members anytime.

Just the facts

• Who can join?
• Membership is open to anyone holding an associate’s (or equivalent, e.g. RN), bachelor’s, or higher degree from a regionally accredited college or university.
• What type of membership is available?
• National membership: Become a national member and connect through our website, plus enjoy special members-only online publications.
• Branch members: Do you want to make a direct impact in your community? Consider joining a local or virtual branch of AAUW, or start one in your area.  Includes national membership.
• Younger Women’s Task Force (YWTF): Designed by and for women in their 20s and 30s, YWTF offers young women an opportunity to take action on issues that matter most to them.
• Student affiliation: If your college is already a partner member, you can be a student affiliate for free! If not, bring AAUW to your campus by starting an AAUW student organization!
