Co-Presidents’ Invitation
to Annual Meeting 2009
Deb Roney & Kate Sweeney
AAUW-PA Co-Presidents
Please join us in Lewisburg on Saturday, April 25, for the 2009 AAUW-PA Annual Meeting.
This one-day
event offers support from Association and state leaders as we discuss bylaws changes, conduct state
business, and
provide two optional leadership-training workshops.
Sally Chamberlain, our special guest from
Association, will help us think through the proposed bylaws
changes. This is a strategic year; we all need to understand and influence where AAUW is
going.
Please a our invitation
and come to Lewisburg for the day. It will be informative, energizing, and
engaging. Don’t miss it!
A quick word of encouragement - Please fill out the
PA Every Member Survey (EMS).
Your responses will be counted up to May 15. Be aware that if you are completing the
survey online, you may go back in and update earlier answers as long as you are
using the same computer. Also, survey
questions allow for Yes, No, and Not Sure responses.
Be advised that voting "Not Sure" will make it hard for state delegates to know your wishes when they vote on your behalf at the
Association convention in St. Louis.
Note from Co-Presidents
At the request of the Association Bylaws
Chair, the AAUW-PA board agreed to delete the following sentence in Article V,
Section 7, from the AAUW-PA Bylaws: The Association shall rebate to each state the amount
of state dues for each College/University (C/U) representative in the state. This change brings our
state bylaws into compliance with Association bylaws. The revised version is posted on the state
website for your use.
The
state board will discuss the future handling of C/U partner membership after
the June AAUW convention in St. Louis where the Association Bylaws proposals
will be debated and voted on. We hope
you can attend that convention or will take part in the discussion of those
proposals and make your voice heard.
