Fireside Chats 2024-2025

Join us for free online “Fireside Chats”!

It’s a virtual opportunity to chat informally with other AAUW branch members around the state on topics that matter to us.

“Elections 2024: What Did We Learn”
Wednesday, November 13

Our AAUW-WA Public Policy Team led a discussion on lessons learned from our branch candidate forums and “Get Out the Vote” activities, to help us plan for 2025-2026 and beyond.

  • How do we continue growing our organization?
  • How financially stable is national AAUW?
  • What are the ramifications of the Title IX scholarship decisions?
