As a TWCFOC volunteer and a local small business owner, I recommend this nonprofit on two levels. Domestic violence impacts the local workforce, so business owners like me appreciate TWCFOC for the in-client and out-client services that it provides to victimized employees -- and for the educational outreach that it makes to employers. As a TWCFOC volunteer, I see first-hand the remarkable difference that its DV and family conflict services make in individual lives and in families. TWCFOC does so in an inclusive way, offering its services regardless of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, religion, creed, etc. Bravo!

AAUW continues to break through barriers so that all women and girls have a fair chance. As a volunteer AAUW leader on the national, state, and branch levels, I have many opportunities to raise a powerful voice -- individually and collectively, in person and electronically -- to make lasting changes that advance gender equality. In my own AAUW experiences I have taught women to negotiate fair pay, have lobbied my state legislators about equity-related bills, have funded campus outreach projects, and so much more! AAUW's means of achieving equity (advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research) are effective, influential, and resonant with multiple generations of equality-minded individuals. I give this organization my highest rating.
