AAUW of North Carolina is offering a virtual series with a monthly program via Zoom on topics that are designed to appeal to women in North Carolina.
The You Have the Power theme challenges the attendees to make a positive change in their communities.
Programs are approximately 1 hour in length.
The series is FREE, however, registration is required. We hope you will join us and invite your networks to be with us, also.
Kim Churches will be the opening speaker on Friday at 7:30 pm. She is the Chief Executive Officer of AAUW and will bring us an update on what is happening with our national organization. Kim began her work with AAUW about a month prior to the national conference in Washington DC in 2017. This is the first time in recent years that the Chief Officer of AAUW has been the featured speaker at our annual meeting. We are pleased that our members have this opportunity to hear from Kim Churches directly.
