Membership Involvement - How can I help?

Branch Involvement

Yes, there are many ways a member can get actively involved in our branch activities. The more a member gets involved, the easier it is to make friends and feel truly part of our branch.

Some suggested ways you may want to help:

• You might offer to serve as an officer.
• Offer to serve on a committee or chair a committee.
• Suggest speakers and important topics to our Program Committee.
• Volunteer your help on any of our special projects.
• Become active in any of our special interest groups or suggest new groups.

Advertise our branch:

• Offer to help with publicity efforts.
• Proudly state that you are a member of our AAUW branch if / when you get any personal press.
• Invite your friends and family to public AAUW functions.
• You can even invite a guest to 2 meetings of our members-only interest groups.
