Marketing Public Speaking Recruitment
Give your reasons for running for this office.
I would like to be able to continue the Membership & Marketing focus of our current board into the next president’s term. I would like to realize our goal of making AAUW CA the premier women’s organization throughout California, for women of all ages. Our public policy work and commitment to gender equality is even more crucial, following this “she-session”–the term given to how women have fared during this pandemic and the passage of so many laws eroding women’s equality.
