The Chateau Bloomington, Conference Center in Bloomington, IL.
Our branch representatives:
Zsuzsanna Szabo - President
Jenny Bolander - President elect
Sharon Jenkins - Education Fund VP
Patricia Penelton - branch member
We learned about the wind of change that hopefully will bring new ideas and new members as well to the AAUW overall.
MEN CAN BE MEMBERS AS WELL!! - Bring your husbands and friends!
Programs are very important and should be aimed and aligned to the AAUW Mission Statement and Vision Statement:
Vision Statement: AAUW will be a powerful advocate and visible leader in equity and education through research, philanthropy, and measurable change in critical areas impacting the lives of women and girls.
1. The most important is that we have a choice.
2. Actions should be focused on shared intention.
3. The future consists of many possible alternatives; our current behavior will realize the imagined future.
4. Discipline and firmeness, agility and flexibility in pursuing the ideals.
5. Conditions to change: a need for change, clear vision, belief, guiding coalition, practical steps, communication, visible and symbolic results, adequate resources.
6. New ideas should be consistent with AAUW values.
7. Expect resistance to change from present members!
8. Change will take place in stages; the important is TO HAVE A CHANGE!
