UPCOMING PROGRAMS & EVENTS
December/January
In previous years we would have used this space to announce how to participate in our annual Holiday brunch but, as we all know, now that we are in this COVID era we will not be able to meet in person this year. Our brunch and fundraiser has always been a time to gather together, enjoy each others company, enjoy a wonderful meal together and support our fundraising efforts. The good news is, with the recent announcements of the vaccine developments, we can now begin to envision a time when we will be able to join each other in person again!
Although we will not be able to meet with you this holiday season, Judy Holt, our Branch Funds Chair, has sent us a message on how we are planning to still support the critical fundraising efforts for AAUW Funds:

Annual Holiday AAUW Funds Drive
As you all know, we will not be gathering at the Mac Club for our annual Holiday Brunch. I am really going to miss seeing you all. This event is our primary AAUW Funds appeal for the year.
Please look in your mailbox in December for information and forms from our Portland Branch. AAUW Funds are supporting amazing women and we ask that you read the information and consider a donation to AAUW.
Looking forward to getting together in the future!

Are you looking for a meaningful volunteer opportunity??
Our branch members partner with the Portland area Girl Scouts and the Saturday Academy to offer beginning programming classes to young girls in support of our commitment to STEM education for girls and women. No special tech skills are necessary - just a desire to help young girls expand their knowledge of STEM. If you would like to know more about this program, please contact Ginny McQueen our STEM volunteer coordinator, who will be happy to talk with you about time commitments and responsibilities.

Did you know that women in Oregon earned 82 cents for every one dollar men earned in 2017? Teaching women to better negotiate salaries is one way to help close the gender pay gap and AAUW has rolled out two programs to help close that gap. Start Smart is a workshop aimed at helping college women build skills and confidence to negotiate salaries. Work Smart is designed to help women at any stage of their careers negotiate better salaries and benefits and is now available in an online version! Ready to get started? Click here to register for a FREE online Work Smart salary negotiation course. |
