Advancing Our Leadership Legacy:
Celebrating Our Past • Creating Our Future |
Welcome to the 2007-2008 AAUW year! The goal of the Program Development Committee (PDC) is to
provide you with resources, ideas and support to make all of your programs a success. Programs
should interpret and reflect the mission, purposes, policies and objectives of AAUW.
During the course of this year we will be working on the following:
- Communicating Association, state, and branch information and activities.
- Overseeing the branch recognition program which has replaced the Association's retired 21st Century Award program.
- Compiling information on branch programs for use in your program planning for the 2007-2008 year.
- Planning a great convention in the Sonoma County wine country at Rohnert Park, April 4-6, 2008!
