Next steps for Education as the Gateway to Women’s Economic Security

For the last year, a national e-mail list has been used to send information on program ideas related to AAUW’s new theme, “Education as the Gateway to Women’s Economic Security”. If you’d like to be part of the North Carolina “theme team” – with a commitment to distributing these ideas and putting them into action – let Nancy know and she’ll get you subscribed so you see these messages as soon as they come out.

For more about programming ideas related to the theme, see www.aauw.org/newvision and, in particular, the one page handout which documents the wide variety of programs generated from the theme.
Read on for the latest updates.

December branch presidents’ mailing

Should AAUW NC purchase a sound system?

  • by

We’ve started some investigation of characteristics/prices of sound systems so that we can evaluate whether AAUW NC should purchase such a system to have it available at all of our state meetings. Our convention has been held at full-service hotels that provide audio equipment, but for our other meetings we sometimes do without. At the fall meeting, we experimented with “simultaneous captioning” of some of the major talks, and we’ll continue with that. On the other hand, making sure that the oral remarks are as clear as possible is another of our goals. Such a system may also allow us to do better at presenting multi-media information like the 2005 video on women’s economic security.Read More »Should AAUW NC purchase a sound system?
