Branch Activities

Branch activities are held throughout the year for the entire membership and include educational and entertainment programs in addition to branch business. Watch the Branchline each month for details of each program. Members are urged to participate in Branch activities regularly and to encourage others to do so in order to further the AAUW mission and promote the organization among members and non-members.

  • Prospective members are welcome and warmly invited to attend any activities open to the public including our mission-driven programs and fundraising events.
  • Prospective members may also attend any two Interest Group functions as the guest of a member before joining. Dues must be paid before a guest may attend additional Interest Group activities. Please join us and support our mission

In addition to our 2025-2026 activities listed below, we have 9 interest groups that meet on a monthly basis.
