**************************
For more than a century, AAUW has been a catalyst for change.
Today, with more than 100,000 members and 1300 branches committed to education and equity, AAUW members across the country contribute to a more promising future and provide a powerful voice for women and girls—a voice that cannot and will not be ignored.
Through its public policy program AAUW has influenced legislative debate on critical issues such as education, Social Security, sex discrimination, civil rights, reproductive choice, affirmative action, Title IX, welfare reform, vocational education, pay equity, family and medical leave, and health care reform.
The Schenectady Branch was founded in 1902 as the Schenectady College Women’s Club and organized in 1923 as a branch of AAUW.
We are proud to be one of AAUW’s 21st Century Recognition Program Platinum Winners
