UPDATE: AAUWUS

National’s focus for the coming two years will be:

• Education – concerns over a shift in funding from higher education to work-development programs; future of the Department of Education.
• Title IX – efforts to restrict due process rights under Title IX are expected

Ongoing priorities are education, economic opportunities for women, civil rights and social justice for all.

ERA – national continues to work to have ERA posted; it was passed by Congress and enough states have now ratified, but an intro to the original document included a deadline which is now being disputed.

UPDATE: AAUWCA

• New state Public Policy Priorities – responses to the statewide survey are now being reviewed; final member vote will be in the spring.
• School Board Project – expect a member survey in January; training will be offered early in the new year.
• Lobby Days will again take place March/April; watch for information.
