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).
We are working with Kiwanis Club of Issaquah and the City of Issaquah to sponsor a forum for candidates for the state legislature for district 5 and district 41. The Candidate Forum will be held in the City Council Chambers, 135 W. Sunset Way in Issaquah. The forum is open to the public. The City of Issaquah will host the broadcast, so the public can also watch remotely on Channel 21 or the city’s YouTube channel.
The agenda is to have the Senate candidates from both districts face off at 6:30 pm. 41st District House candidates will begin at 7:15 p.m. followed by 5th District House candidates at 8 pm. See the agenda below for more information.
Members of the community are encouraged to submit questions for the Forum. Due to limited time, not all questions will be asked but they will be considered. Email questions by October 10 to president@issaquahkiwanis.org. Include your name and contact information.
To help voters make informed decisions, the videotaped forum will be repeated daily on Issaquah’s Channel 21 until the Nov. 5 general election and will be available at any time on the city’s YouTube channel.
