Our mission requires our ongoing commitment, dedication, and drive if we are to keep breaking down barriers to success and empowering all women and girls to thrive. Large, donor-dependent campaigns are certainly noteworthy and continue to bring AAUW and our policy concerns deserved nationwide attention.
