Happy Birthday

This month marks AAUW’s 140th birthday—and members, supporters and staff celebrated in style. On Wednesday, November 17, AAUW National hosted a virtual event with more than 1,500 registrants, one of our largest-ever online gatherings! Among the festivities, we:

  • Showed a video highlighting the women who are part of our rich history and dynamic present.
  • Unveiled our distinguished 2021 AAUW Alumnae Recognition Awardee Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General of the World Trade Organization, and shared CEO Gloria L. Blackwell’s extensive conversation with her.
  • Recognized AAUW affiliates marking their own milestones.
  • Kicked off our year-end giving campaign with an unprecedented match from AAUW’s board, volunteer leaders and staff. Donate now to have your gift matched up to $75,000!

We’ll make the event recording available as soon as possible in our webinar library. Meanwhile, enjoy the special 140th anniversary page we created for you on our website.
