AAUW Clarion was chartered in the 1950's. For over half a century it has been instrumental in making a positive change for the community and surrounding area.
AAUW is committed to continuing education, advocacy for equity and philanthropy to support women and girls. Local fund raisers provide scholarships for college freshman as well as the national AAUW programs.
Many women have found this a great way to get to know others when they first move into the area. I joined shortly after graduating from college and have belonged ever since. It has been particularly beneficial as I grew in leadership skills that have included positions at the state, national and international level. It was also the network that opened the door to my position as Executive Director of the Iowa 4-H Foundation. Many of these members were my role models and mentors.
