| WELCOME TO AAUW OF MISSOURI
Throughout the State of Missouri, there are active Branches that would
welcome you as a member, or, if you cannot find a Branch near you,
become a National member. This website provides information about
National, State, and Branch activities to keep you informed about what
is going on with AAUW. AAUW is a powerful voice promoting equity for all
women and girls at all levels of the organization. You can contact me
by e-mail
