Living the Mission in the

St. Lawrence County Branch

American Association of University Women

The St. Lawrence County Branch was formed in 1927. You can take a virtual tour of some branch highlights via our 80th Anniversay PowerPoint slide show. Our thanks to member Mary Bucher who researched and produced the show. (The file is large, so it may take a while to load!) Note - if you do not have Powerpoint, you can download a free viewer from Microsoft - for Windows 2000, XP or Vista or Windows 98 or ME.
We have 60 members from a diverse educational and employment background who work together to fulfill the mission of the American Association of University Women: to advance equity for women and girls through advocacy, education and research. In principle and practice, AAUW values and seeks a diverse membership. There are no barriers to full participation in this organization on the basis of gender, race, creed, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or class.
