AAUW News
This is a distillation of news items from www.aauw.org for the benefit of those AAUW NC members who want a “quick read” of news from the national organization. It is intended to supplement, not replace, the e-newsletters from AAUW, and is posted about the time of e-newsletters from AAUW NC so you can schedule time to review both and see how the national/state levels of AAUW are contributing to advancing the mission.
See http://www.aauw.org/rss/ for information on how to get this information as soon as it’s posted. It’s also reposted on the AAUW NC NEWS page at www.aauwnc.org/news/.
