AAUW of Washington State is the state organization of the American Association of University Women.

Our dedicated, fun-loving members belong to local branches from the tip of the Olympic Peninsula in the northwest to Walla Walla in the southeast.  We are rural and urban, big and small.  We are even virtual with our online branch.

Branch activities reflect the diversity of our communities —book sales, get-out-the-vote campaigns, fundraisers, scholarships —all serving the needs of our members, their communities, and the mission of AAUW.  We are different, yet the same, and we enjoy getting to know each other at state meetings and online programs.

Some of our branches—Whatcom, Seattle, Tacoma, and Yakima—have already celebrated their 100th anniversaries.

AAUW-WA is managed by a state board consisting of elected and appointed officers.

State-sponsored activities include webinars, leadership conferences, annual meetings, and Lobby Day.  AAUW-WA maintains this website, publishes a newsletter, and supports lobbying efforts for state legislation, engaging a legislative consultant to represent its interests in Olympia.

The story of women’s progress toward equality is a remarkable one, and AAUW has played an important role in every chapter. Together, as ONE AAUW, we have worked tirelessly so that women and girls could gain more choices and opportunities.
