From Gloria Blackwell, AAUW CEO:
…we are determined to fight for our agenda, and that includes
- Expanding college access for girls and women. That means helping more women pursue STEM education, ending discrimination and harassment in schools, and defending Title IX.
- Supporting the economic security of all women. AAUW is committed to ensuring women have the resources and support they need to succeed in education, in their careers, and for their families.
- Investing in women. Last year we backed our agenda with $6.2 million in funding for women scholars and community organizations advancing gender equity, address, and education and professional opportunities for women and girls.
And we won’t EVER back down from our belief that women’s work should be valued, our bodies should be respected, and that our education and workspaces should be inclusive and free from violence, harassment, discrimination, and bias. (Feb. 2025)
Portland Branch: Advancing equity for women and girls since 1905.
At its start, the mission of Portland Branch was to provide a place where women with college degrees could socialize, and to raise money for a scholarship to support a high school girl to go to the state university. Today, it remains fundamentally the same: to provide opportunities to meet and make friends, and to support our local colleges and the community. We invite you to join us!
Program Theme for 2024-25 is “Civic Engagement”.
