Issaquah (WA) Branch
The Issaquah branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) was chartered on November 26, 1979. AAUW works to break through educational and economic barriers affecting women and girls. Our members are involved in activities that support the missions and goals of AAUW while involving the branch with the community. Branch meetings and interest groups readily promote friendship and exchange of ideas.
We are affiliated with both the national AAUW organization (www.aauw.org) and the Washington state organization (aauw-wa.aauw.net).
Our focus in January is on the state legislative session. AAUW Washington is hosting a meeting on which bills before the legislature that we want to advocate for with our lobbying efforts. The state has a team that reviews the bills and will present the information at a Zoom meeting which we call Lobby Day.
