AAUW advances gender equity for women and girls through research, education, and advocacy. Founded in 1881, we are 170,000 strong!
The Mt. Vernon Branch was founded in 1956. We meet monthly, usually the third Thursday, from September through June. Our programs and activities reinforce the vision of AAUW. We would love for you to visit with us any time!

In 2018, AAUW adopted its strategic plan, providing the foundation and vision to advance gender equity for women and girls. Since then, we’ve achieved many milestones toward our goals. As we approach 2021, we’ve honed in on key areas where AAUW can continue to lead with an improved set of strategic objectives — call it the 2.0 version — that align with the enormous social, political and organizational changes we’ve seen since in the past two years.
