The AAUW has provided me with the opportunity to expand my horizons geographically as well as mentally. As an attendee to the National Conference for College Women Student Leaders, I was able to gain practical knowledge for balance in a competitive career and social world. Meeting women from all over the country who believe in equal pay for women and are promoting social change in their lives for their families and communities was reinvigorating. I think all women would benefit from programs like these that the AAUW holds. The organization works as an invaluable resource and support system for developing women leaders.
