What is AAUW Windward Branch
The Windward Branch is one of eight AAUW branches in the state of Hawaii. We are the largest of the 8 branches
with 106 members. Regular membership is open to women who hold a degree from an accredited college or university,
including a two-year Associate degree. Our branch also offers an Interest group membership as an option. Interest
group members are individuals who share our vision but do not have the degree.
Activities for our members include monthly programs or special events. Individual interest groups meet on a
monthly basis and include two literature groups, a Great Decisions study group, an Arts Smart group and an Any
Excuse for Lunch group. Fund-raising activities for scholarships are ongoing throughout the year.
AAUW Windward Branch welcomes visitors and new members at any time. Feel free to contact us at
info@aauw-windward.org.

What is AAUW
The American Association of University Women seeks to advance equity for women and girls through advocacy,
education and research. Founded in 1881 as the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, the organization's original mission
was to promote practical educational work. AAUW's mission has now expanded to include AAUW EF (Educational
Foundation) which works to advance educational and professional opportunities for women in the United States and
around the globe and AAUW LAF (Legal Advocacy Fund) which works to combat sex discrimination in higher
education and the workplace.
Today with more than 100,000 members, 1,300 branches, and 500 college and university partners, AAUW
contributes to a more promising future and provides a powerful voice for women and girls - a voice that cannot and
will not be ignored.
