AAUW FLORIDA      

AAUW's mission is to advance equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research.
 The deadline to submit branch dues reports to National and to Florida AAUW was June 30th

It's time to renew your AAUW membership for 2010-2011!  AAUW dues are $49, of which $46 is income tax deductible; State dues are $12, and branch dues vary so contact your branch Membership VP or Treasurer to learn the amount of your branch dues. The deadline for branch treasurers to submit branch dues reports to National and to the state is June 30th.

Has your branch already held a Breaking through Barriers type program? Do you know about AAUW's Breaking through Barriers Awards Program? To learn more about the program  go to http://aauw.org/learn/awards/btb.cfm.

Do you know about the AAUW-FL funding program or branches that want to undertake a STEM or Pay Equity project but need funding to carry out the project? It's similar to the AAUW Mini Grant Program but limited to branches that want to participate in the state-wide activity to encourage girls to consider careers in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math or  to build awareness among women that they are not paid equally as men who have the same skills, education, etc and do equal work so that they help us work toward equal pay for equal work. Visit our program page to read the guidelines for applying for a grant and to download an application.

The form to report on STEM and Pay Equity Projects that have already been completed is available on the forms page of this website.
